Bananas Foster
Indulge in the rich, warm flavors of Bananas Foster, a delightful New Orleans dessert that perfectly marries the sweetness of caramelized bananas with the boldness of rum. Originating from the famed Brennan’s restaurant in the 1950s, this dessert not only tantalizes your taste buds but also offers a spectacular presentation with its flambé finish. Served over creamy vanilla ice cream, each bite is a heavenly experience that transports you straight to the heart of the French Quarter.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Banana liqueur
- 1/4 cup
- Dark rum
- 1/4 cup
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Bananas
- 4, ripe but firm, sliced lengthwise
- Vanilla ice cream
- 4 cups, for serving
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and banana liqueur until well combined. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts bubbling.
- Carefully add the sliced bananas, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden and caramelized.
- Remove the skillet from heat and carefully add the dark rum. If the mixture is hot enough, it will catch fire. If not, use a long lighter to ignite it. Allow the flames to subside on their own, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into serving bowls and generously spoon the caramelized banana mixture over the top.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of warm bananas and cold ice cream.
