Banana Foster with Pic's

[PTJD]

OK, Got the OK from Mary to post (occasionally) here.

Made this for the 4th, I need to make it more often because it is so easy to do and will impress your friends!! Sorry I do not keep a exact recipe, I just improvise.

Need
Banana's
Banana Liqueur
Fresh grated Nutmeg and Cinnamon
Half stick Butter unsalted
1/3rd Cup Brown Sugar Brown sugar
Dark Rum, I used Pyrat XO Reserve from Anguilla
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream or store bought

Melt butter, brown sugar and banana liqueur over medium heat until bubbling.

Add Nutmeg, Cinnamon and sliced Banana's

Now for the finale, crank heat to high and add 1/4 cup rum.
Now be careful, I tilt the pan to flambe but if you are not sure you can use a fireplace lighter or just let it bubble till alcohol evaporates.

Now I make my home made Ice Cream but this is for another topic.

Another important note, pre-freeze the ice cream in the bowls you are going to serve in until they are rock hard.

Then pour over Ice cream!!!
Very easy and delicious!!

Very nice! Can you make the banana foster mix ahead and then heat up? When I make a big dinner I like to do as much ahead as possible.

 

[PTJD]

I don't because it literally is 4-5 minutes of cooking. I do all the prep work ahead. I have the spices,bananas, Ice cream prepped ahead of time. You want to Flambe in front of your guests and then immediately pour into the Ice cream cups.

Huh..What part of vape don't you get? I am not good with Flaming anything! Mike puts smoke detecters in the car, garage or anywhere I am because I ..uh..tend to forget to watch what I am doing.

Have another good recipe?

Hmmmm, looks fabulous! Bananas Foster is one of my all time favorite desserts!

Any my friends still can't believe I did the cherry flambe one year. Setting food on fire leaves quite an impression.

Igniting it is optional, if you want, just let the alcohol evaporate for 20 seconds or so. Yeah, I'll post some more later, don't want to over extend my welcome here!

For some reason, now I have this vision..of MaryKay running around with a smoke detector mounted on her backside.

Thank Goodness Mike doesn't read this! He would think it a fine idea!
My kids thought I invented Blackened stuff..Fish, chicken toast ect. As Ron White put it 'My wife thinks smoke detecters are food timers". Or something like that.

My Dad said my Mom must have thought he was a god when they got married because she kept serving him burnt offerings.
