Bananas Foster
This delectable dessert is not only a feast for the eyes but also a treat for the taste buds! The caramelized bananas served over vanilla ice cream create a heavenly experience. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 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 melted and bubbly, add in the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the caramel sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas start to soften.
- Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. If you want to flambé, tip the skillet slightly to ignite the rum with a long lighter or match. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off, which should take about a minute.
- Once the flames have died down, remove the skillet from heat.
- To serve, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl, then spoon the bananas and sauce over the ice cream. Enjoy immediately!
