Ingredients for Bananas Foster

Method

Preparation Steps for Bananas Foster

  1. 1

    Sauté the Bananas

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the mixture is bubbly and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Bananas

    Slice the ripe bananas in half lengthwise and gently place them in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and tender.

  3. 3

    Flambé the Mixture

    Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. Using a long lighter or match, ignite the rum to flambé. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off, which should take about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the bananas foster immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
