Bananas Foster Split image

Bananas are cooked in a buttery brown-sugar sauce; rum is added and ignited just before serving (the flames burn off the alcohol, leaving the flavor behind). Ice cream melts into the warm glaze.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 firm ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter with sugar in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling skillet occasionally, until color deepens, about 3 minutes. Add bananas, cut sides down. Cook, swirling occasionally to make sure bananas are coated, 3 1/2 minutes. Flip bananas, and cook 2 1/2 minutes more.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Add rum. Return to medium heat, and cook about 10 seconds to allow rum to heat up. If using a gas stove, carefully tip the pan away from you until the vapors from the rum ignite. (Alternatively, light the rum with a long match.) When the flames subside, remove pan from heat. Serve bananas topped with vanilla ice cream.

I didn't have any rum so I used brandy instead. It was still delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery.
