Banana Foster Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add the Bananas

    Carefully add the banana pieces to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through and coated with the sauce.

  4. 4

    Flambé with Rum

    Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully add the dark rum. Return to the heat and ignite the rum with a long lighter or match, allowing the flames to burn off the alcohol.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the banana foster into serving dishes and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.
