Bananas Foster à la Nouvelle-Orléans
Indulge in the sweet, sultry flavors of New Orleans with this elegant twist on a classic dessert. Bananas Foster is a celebration of warm caramelized bananas, kissed by rum, and served over velvety vanilla ice cream—a true comfort that envelops you in cozy bliss.
Step 1: Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise in half. Set aside.
Step 2: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves, forming a smooth caramel.
Step 3: Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until they start to caramelize and soften.
Step 4: Carefully pour the rum over the bananas and ignite with a long lighter to flambé (optional). Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol cooks off, about 30 seconds.
Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon. Serve immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
A small bowl of toasted pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Pair with a classic Hurricane cocktail for a full New Orleans experience.
