Bananas Foster Biscuit Shortcakes
Try this shortcut version of a dessert favorite, with biscuits standing in for the usual shortcake (and jazzed up with extra coconut).
Ingredients
Biscuit
- 1/2 cup flaked or shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (16.3 ounce) can Pillsbury® Grands!® refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Filling
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 tablespoon light rum (or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract and 2 1/2 teaspoons water)
Whipped Topping
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In small bowl, mix coconut and granulated sugar.
- Dip tops and sides of biscuits into melted butter, then into coconut mixture. On ungreased large cookie sheet, place biscuits, coconut sides up, 2 inches apart. Sprinkle any remaining coconut mixture over tops of biscuits.
- Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until biscuits and coconut are light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat; stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cook until brown sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat; fold in bananas and rum.
- In medium bowl, beat whipped topping ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- To serve, split warm biscuits. Fill and top with filling and whipped topping.
