Bananas Foster

bananas on fire

Have just two bananas left and looking for something new to do with them? Nothing like a sweet banana made sweeter with a little sugar and rum! Instead of making them in to a bread or shake, how about dessert?

Start your meal off with Chicken with Asparagus and Artichoke Pesto or a Steak Au Poivre Burger and finish it off with this easy Banana’s Foster recipe.

cooking information

• Yield: 4
• Prep Time: 2 minutes
• Cooking Time: 5 minutes

all ingredients

• 2 Bananas
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Vanilla Rum
• 1 Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream

recipe instruction

1. Slice the bananas into ½ thick silver dollars.

2. Pre-heat sauté pan to medium-high. Add the brown sugar and create a caramel (melted brown sugar). Once the sugar has begun to melt, add the banana.

3. Saute for 1-2 minutes until the liquid has reduced down and become one.

4. Transfer your rum from the bottle to a smaller glass. Always be very careful when adding alcohol as you do not want a flame to travel up to the bottle. Pour the rum into the bananas and caramel mixture.

5. I like to serve these in shot glasses or on dessert plates with a scoop of ice cream.

cooking tips

• Be sure to always transfer your alcohol into smaller containers before pouring! You don’t want the flame to travel up into the bottle!
