Flambeed Banana Foster with Rum

Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1/4 cup banana liqueur
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
  • Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to coat the bananas with the caramel sauce.
  • Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of dark rum and 1/4 cup of banana liqueur. Tilt the skillet slightly to ignite the alcohol with a long lighter or match. Be cautious as the flames may shoot up, and keep a lid nearby to smother the flames if necessary.
  • Once the flames subside, stir the bananas gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • To serve, spoon the flambeed bananas and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream in individual serving dishes. Enjoy immediately.
Dessert
American

Bananas Foster is a classic New Orleans dessert that originated in the 1950s at Brennan's Restaurant. Created by Chef Paul Blangé, this decadent dish features ripe bananas sautéed in a buttery, sugary sauce, and then flambeed with dark rum. The dish was named after Richard Foster, a friend of the restaurant's owner. The flambeed bananas are typically served over vanilla ice cream, creating a delightful contrast of warm and cold, sweet and boozy flavors. Today, Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans continues to serve the best version of this iconic dessert, where skilled chefs expertly flambee the bananas to perfection, creating a show-stopping experience for diners. The key to getting this dish right lies in using ripe, firm bananas and high-quality dark rum for the flambe. While Brennan's is the go-to spot for the authentic experience, home cooks can also recreate this indulgent treat with the right ingredients and a bit of flair.
