Mexican Hot Fudge Sundaes with Caramelized Bananas

While we get ready for our Mexican Cuisine cooking class next week (book your seat today by calling 1-604-530-1518), we were in the mood for something sweet and spicy. Our creative director likes to add a pinch of chili powder to their hot sauce when serving this treat.
