Bananas Foster

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 tablespoons 60mlUnsalted butter
3/4 cup 120g / 4.2ozLight brown sugar - (packed)
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround cinnamon
1   Ground nutmeg
4   Ripe bananas - peeled, and
  Cut lengthwise into halves
1/4 cup 59mlBanana liqueur
1/2 cup 118mlDark rum
1   Vanilla ice cream

Recipe Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the bananas and banana liqueur and cook on both sides until the bananas start to soften and brown, about 3 minutes.

Carefully add the rum and shake the pan back and forth to warm the rum and flame the pan. (Or, off the heat, carefully ignite the pan with a match.) Shake the pan back and forth, basting the bananas, until the flame dies.

Divide the ice cream among 4 dessert plates. Gently lift the bananas from the pan and place 2 halves on the ice cream. Spoon the sauce over the ice cream and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
