Ingredients
Bananas: You can’t have Bananas Foster without bananas! Look for ripe but firm fruits as they won't turn too mushy in the pan.Butter: Rich, creamy butter forms the base of the luscious sauce.
- Dark Brown Sugar: Adds depth and a hint of caramel flavor.
- Rum: A splash of rum brings warmth and tropical flair to the dish.
- Vanilla Extract: Fragrant vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile.
- Ground Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon lends a subtle, warm spice note.
- Chopped Pecans: Provide a delightful textural contrast. They're optional, but I love the added crunch.
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream is the perfect counterpart to the warm, gooey banana topping.
- What I love about Bananas Foster is how easy it is to make at home, yet it feels like a fancy restaurant dessert.
- And watching the butter and sugar transform into a bubbling caramel sauce is so satisfying!
- Here's how it's done:
- 1. PEEL the bananas and cut them into thick slices.
- 2. MELT the butter in a large skillet then add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook until smooth.
- 3. ADD the banana slices, stir, and cook until soft.
- 4. POUR in the rum and swirl to combine. Cook or flambé as desired.
- 5. MIX in the nuts and vanilla, cook until the caramel is thick, then remove from the heat.
- 6. SERVE the bananas with ice cream and extra sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
