LE DESSERTS
- 1
Prepare bananas
Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, creating two long banana halves per serving.
- 2
Plate the ice cream
On two dessert plates, place two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream per plate.
- 3
Flambé the bananas
In a small skillet over medium heat, arrange the banana halves and warm for about 1–2 minutes until lightly golden. Add 2 tablespoons brandy and 2 tablespoons dark rum to the pan, then carefully ignite with a long match to flambé. Allow the flames to burn out on their own (about 20 seconds). If flames become too large, cover briefly with a lid to extinguish.
