Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium banana
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 fluid ounce brandy
¼ cup pineapple chunks, drained
4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Cut banana in half, then cut each half in 4 slices lengthwise.
  • Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook until melted and caramelized, about 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple chunks. Add banana slices and cook for 1 minute, flipping halfway through.
  • Pour brandy all over bananas. Set on fire with a match or BBQ lighter. The brandy will burn quickly and while it burns, gently shake the pan to be sure all alcohol burns off.
  • Put 2 slices of bananas each into 4 small bowls. Top with vanilla ice cream and a little bit of syrup from the frying pan. Serve immediately.
