Bananas Foster is a deliciously rich and easy recipe laced with dark rum and brown sugar for a warm sweet dessert you'll want to make again and again!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Stirring frequently.
- While the butter mixture is cooking, slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices.
- Once the butter mixture starts to bubble, add the bananas in a single layer and cook for 1 minute. Turn the bananas over and cook for 1 more minute.
- Very carefully pour in the vanilla extract and the rum and then using a long match or grill lighter held just over the liquid, ignite the rum to flambé. Cook until the flame goes out, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Add ice cream to 6 bowls and evenly top with the bananas and rum sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Light brown sugar can be used in a pinch, but not granulated sugar.
