A classic New Orleans dessert featuring sautéed bananas in a rich rum sauce, flambéed and served over vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup banana liqueur
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
  3. Add the banana liqueur and stir to combine.
  4. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, spooning sauce over the bananas until they are coated and warmed through.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and carefully add the rum.
  6. Using a long lighter or match, ignite the rum to flambé. Let the flames subside naturally.
  7. Serve the bananas and sauce immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Always flambé with caution and keep a lid nearby to extinguish flames if needed.
  • This dessert is best served immediately.
