Ingredients
4 bananas, peeled
4 tablespoons, unsalted butter
¼ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
2 tablespoons rum or Bacardi 151
2 cups premium or slow-churned vanilla ice cream
Step 1- Melt Butter and Sugar…Add Lemon Juice
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and stir until it becomes a light caramel color and is smooth, about 1-2 minutes
Add lemon juice and incorporate into the caramel
Step 2- Add Bananas and Alcohol
Split bananas in half lengthwise
Increase the temperature until the caramel boils
Add the bananas (gently)
Add both of the alcohols
Cook’s note: Don’t sauté the bananas; simply warm them on each side
Step 3 – Flame and Serve
Ignite the alcohol immediately with a lighter to make a show and to help alcohol burn off
Cook bananas for about 2 minutes, flipping gently to completely coat and warm
Transfer two banana halves to each plate and serve with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle excess caramel sauce over the entire plate
