3. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside. *If your skillet is not big enuff, you have to do this in batches.* Melt chocolate & coconut butter on a double boiler. Remove from heat once the chocolate has melted.
4. Prepare the French Toast. Melt the ice cream in a shallow bowl. I prefer to melt mine at room temperature. You can however use a microwave. Once the ice cream has melted, place in the stale bread. Let the bread soak in the melted ice cream for about 3 to 5 mins on both sides.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the soaked bread. *Do not discard the leftover ice cream.* Cook until the bottom is browned and crisp.
6. Flip and cook for another min. Remove from heat and place the toast onto the melted ice cream. Top the French toast with the caramelized bananas. Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the top. Sprinkle salt over the top. Serve immediately.
