BANANAS FOSTER



Bananas Foster image

Bananas Foster, a flambéed dessert of halved bananas in a syrupy rum sauce, is a New Orleans favorite that never fails to please. Don't forget the ice cream.

Provided by Marcelle Bienvenu

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bananas, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup dark brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
¼ cup white rum
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and brush with the lemon juice. Melt the butter with the sugar in a flat chafing dish or 10-inch skillet. Add the bananas and sauté until just tender. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.
  • Remove from the heat and add liqueur and rum. Carefully ignite with a long match. Use a large long-handled spoon to baste the bananas with the warm liquid until the flame burns out.
  • Divide the ice cream among four dishes. Top each one with a banana half and some of the sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be. If your bananas are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the bananas from burning.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the skillet first. This will help to create a caramel sauce that will coat the bananas.
  • Add the bananas to the skillet once the butter and sugar have melted. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, or the bananas will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the bananas for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not overcook the bananas, or they will become mushy.
  • Add the rum to the skillet and flambé the bananas. This will create a dramatic presentation and add a delicious flavor to the bananas.
  • Serve the bananas foster immediately with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Bananas foster is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, caramelized bananas and rich, creamy sauce, bananas foster is the perfect way to end any meal. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight treat, bananas foster is sure to be a hit.
