Categories     dessert

Time 12m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup (1.75 ounces) dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon banana liqueur
2 under ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg and stir until sugar dissolves. Add banana liqueur and bring sauce to simmer. Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side, carefully spooning sauce over bananas as they are cooking. Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish. Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum. If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own. If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency. Add orange zest and stir to combine. Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve. Serve with waffles, crepes, or ice cream.

BANANAS FOSTER

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick salted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup dark rum
Dash cinnamon
Vanilla Ice Cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar. Stir together and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the cream and stir it around to combine.
  • Peel the bananas and slice them on the bias inside the peel. Drop the slices into the pan. Next, add the chopped nuts and stir them into the sauce. Then - and this is where you need to be a little careful - stir in the rum. Let it start to bubble, and then carefully use a long lighter to ignite it. (Be sure to have a lid handy in case you need to extinguish the flame.) Let the fire burn and go out (it'll only take about 30 seconds or so), and then stir in the cinnamon at the end. You may also cook the mixture without flambeing it.
  • Spoon it over a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately.
  • Spoon bananas Foster over French toast, waffles or crepes. Substitute peaches, pears or cherries for the bananas. Of course, then it probably wouldn't be considered bananas Foster.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum. - Toasted pecans or walnuts can be added for extra crunch. - If you don’t have a blowtorch, you can warm the bananas in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and caramelized. - Serve Bananas Foster immediately after preparation, while the bananas are still warm and the sauce is still bubbling. - Bananas Foster can be served over ice cream, pound cake, or French toast.

Bananas Foster is a classic New Orleans dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With its sweet, caramelized bananas, creamy vanilla ice cream, and boozy rum sauce, it’s the perfect way to end a special meal.
