Bananas Foster image

This is one of the quickest and most decadent desserts you will ever make. You'll also get major propos in the kitchen for a bit of flambe action (being very careful, of course!).

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 bananas, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup dark rum
1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Squeeze the lemon juice over the bananas. Melt the brown sugar and butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bananas in the skillet cut-side down and saute, flipping carefully once color has developed on one side. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the bananas.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add the rum. Carefully ignite with the flame from the stove or a match. As the flames begin to subside, carefully spoon the sauce over the bananas.
  • Prepare 4 serving dishes with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top with a banana slice and generously spoon the sauce on top. Serve right away.
