Bananas Foster Recipe

Experience the divine combination of ripe bananas cooked in a rich caramel sauce infused with cinnamon and rum with our Bananas Foster Recipe. Originating from New Orleans’ Brennan’s restaurant in the 1950s, it became an instant classic. It captured the essence of Southern hospitality and culinary sophistication, making it a cherished finale to any meal.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Melt the butter and add the brown sugar and cinnamon to it. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
3. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet gently. Gently toss them in the butter and sugar mixture to coat. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes or until they soften slightly.
4. Pour the dark rum into the skillet with care. Be cautious, as it may ignite when exposed to heat. If it does, allow the flames to die down.
5. Stir the mixture gently and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly, and the bananas will absorb the flavors.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat once the Bananas Foster sauce has thickened to your liking.
7. Serve the Bananas Foster immediately with vanilla ice cream scoops.

Bananas Foster is a quick and easy dessert that combines caramelized bananas with vanilla ice cream to create a delicious treat. It’s a classic New Orleans dish perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!
