Bananas Foster
To start, you will want to gather your ingredients. This dessert is not only delectable but also simple to make, requiring just a handful of ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup banana liqueur (optional)
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, stirring until the mixture is well combined and begins to dissolve.
- Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, carefully turning them in the sauce to coat them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas begin to soften.
- If using, carefully pour in the banana liqueur and stir gently. Allow it to simmer for another minute.
- Next, remove the skillet from the heat and carefully add the dark rum. If you want to flambé, carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter, standing back as the flames rise, and let it burn off. This will give a deeper flavor to the sauce.
- Serve the warm bananas Foster over scoops of vanilla ice cream, generously spooning the caramel sauce over the top for that perfect finish.
