Bananas Foster Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Caramel Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Bananas

    Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Add the Rum

    Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. If desired, carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter to flambé the bananas, and let the flames subside.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Scoop the vanilla bean ice cream into bowls and spoon the caramelized bananas and sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
