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.

INDONESIAN BANANAS FOSTER



Indonesian Bananas Foster image

When I ate bananas Foster the first time, it reminded me of this dish. The concept is the same-sliced bananas with a very sweet sauce. However, the bananas used are plantain bananas, and instead of rum to enhance the sauce, this dessert uses creamy coconut milk. -Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk

1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 cup butter, cubed

BANANAS FOSTER SHOOTERS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Bananas Foster Shooters Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pkg Pecan Sandies cookies
3 tbsp butter, melted
2-3 bananas
8 oz heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
8 oz sour cream
1 small box instant banana pudding
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp white sugar
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • Grind the cookies in a food processor. In a bowl, combine the cookies with the melted butter. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss the mixture with a wooden spoon. In a mixer or bowl, whisk heavy cream until stiff. Fold in powdered sugar. Add sour cream. Add the packet of banana pudding and the cinnamon and vanilla. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip or large Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. To make pecan brittle topping, heat two tablespoons sugar, pecans and a pinch of cinnamon in a small pan over medium-low heat. Watch carefully so the sugar does not burn. Stir the mixture until the sugar melts. Once it is melted and the pecans are evenly coated, spoon the mixture onto a piece of wax paper to cool. Once cool, gather the wax paper together, so the pecans are tucked inside, and squeeze the paper-wrapped pecans to break the brittle into smaller pieces. Pour about ½ cup of caramel sauce into a Ziploc bag. Snip off a small tip of the corner. Next, slice the bananas into thin slices and set aside. To assemble the cups, spoon approximately one teaspoon of the pecan crust into a shot glass or small bowl. Add 2-3 banana slices. Pipe the sour cream banana whipped cream pudding into the cup until it is about ¾ full. Drizzle caramel on top of the cream and garnish with the pecan brittle. Enjoy!

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 half-gallon vanilla ice cream in square container
8 crepes, recipe follows
4 bananas
8 tablespoon (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Juice of one-half lemon
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1/4 cup dark rum
Confectioners' sugar and fresh mint sprigs, for garnish, optional
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup water
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap or foil. Using a serrated knife, cut ice cream package in half lengthwise through the cardboard. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and freeze for another use. Halve the remaining piece lengthwise. Flip the ice cream, with the 2 pieces still together, so the cut side is up, and cut it crosswise into 4 equal sections - you'll have 8 pieces of ice cream.
  • Place a crepe on the work surface and place a piece of ice cream in the center. Fold the crepe over the ice cream to enclose completely. Place the filled crepes on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining ice cream and crepes and freeze until just firm. (This recipe can be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance. Wrap carefully in plastic wrap before freezing. Allow to soften slightly before proceeding.)
  • Peel and slice the bananas on a sharp angle into 2-inch pieces. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until smooth and just at a simmer, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add orange liqueur. Return skillet to high heat and stir until smooth. Carefully fold in bananas. Remove the skillet from heat and add the rum. Return the skillet to the heat, and shake the pan back and forth to warm the rum and coat the bananas. (If working over a gas flame the sauce may ignite; continue to cook until the flames subsides.)
  • To serve, place 2 filled crepes on a plate crisscrossing each other and spoon banana mixture over the top. Garnish with sifted confectioners' sugar and a sprig of mint, if desired.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk, water, eggs and vanilla extract, and continue whisking until smooth. (The batter can be made to this point a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before adding the butter.) Stir in the butter. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to rest. (The crepe batter may be made in a food processor blender: Pulse the dry ingredients, then add the wet, process until smooth, and then stir in the butter.) Pour the batter into measuring cup with a spout.
  • Have a plate near the stove to stack the cooked crepes, or 4 plates, if you plan to serve the crepes immediately. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles briefly around the pan before evaporating. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and quickly swirl it to coat the pan evenly. Cook until the batter sets, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. The crepe will blister in the middle, and the edges will look dry and slightly crispy. Using your fingers or a spatula, carefully pick the crepe up by its edges and flip it over to cook the other side, about 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the crepes on the plate as you go.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large egg
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
⅔ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 pinch kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus 2 teaspoons
½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons dark rum
3 just-ripe medium bananas, cut into ⅓-inch (.85 cm) slices
8 oz vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
  • In a blender, combine the egg, melted butter, flour, granulated sugar, milk, and salt. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth.
  • Melt ½ teaspoon butter in a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Pour in a scant ½ cup of batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. 4. Cook for 2 minutes, until set and golden brown in spots on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds, until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel while you repeat to make the remaining 3 crepes. Keep the crepes warm in the oven while you make the filling.
  • Wipe out the pan and return to medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and toast for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to brown. Remove from the pan and let cool.
  • Wipe out the pan and return to medium heat. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter until bubbling. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the water and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is darkened and reduced. Pour in the rum and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, until the alcohol burns off. Fold in the bananas and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened and glossy.
  • Place a crepe on a clean surface. Spoon ½ cup of the bananas onto the center of the crepe; it's okay if some of the sauce gets into the crepe. Fold the edges of the crepe inward to create a square pocket, leaving some of the filling exposed in the center. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. You should have plenty of sauce left over.
  • Plate each crepe and top with a scoop of ice cream and 2 tablespoons of the toasted walnuts. Generously drizzle each crepe with a couple tablespoons of the leftover sauce.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
