Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 cup frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 medium bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. To prepare the shortcakes, combine flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  3. Cut in 1/4 cup butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. Add buttermilk; stir just until moist.
  5. Knead lightly in bowl 5 to 6 times.
  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough.
  8. Bake for 18 minutes or until just firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.
  10. Place shortcake on a cutting board or work surface; cut along score lines with a serrated knife to form 8 wedges.
  11. To prepare filling, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; stir gently just until sugar dissolves.
  12. Cook, without stirring, until pale golden (about 4 minutes), gently swirling pan if needed to cook sugar evenly.
  13. Remove from heat; add cream and 1 teaspoon butter, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
  14. Place whipped topping and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa in a medium bowl; fold just until combined.
  15. Split shortcakes in half horizontally using a serrated knife.
  16. Arrange about 1/4 cup bananas over bottom half of each shortcake; top each serving with about 1 teaspoon caramel sauce, about 2 tablespoons whipped topping mixture, and top of shortcake. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon caramel sauce over top of each shortcake.
