Description
Indulge in the classic dessert, Banana Foster! This recipe features caramelized bananas in a rich, buttery sauce with a hint of rum, served with creamy vanilla ice cream. A perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced diagonally
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (60ml) dark rum (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is bubbling, about 2 minutes.
- Gently add the sliced bananas to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until the bananas are softened and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the rum (if using) and ignite with a long match or lighter, allowing the flames to burn off the alcohol (about 30 seconds). Be cautious when igniting the rum. If you prefer not to use rum, skip this step.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with 1/4 cup of banana liqueur or a splash of banana extract.
- Ensure the bananas are ripe but not overly soft.
- Serve immediately as the ice cream will melt quickly.
