Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Fruit     Dessert     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Banana     Chill     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium firm-ripe bananas
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
about 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw brand

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Break 1 banana into pieces and purée in a blender with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and yolks until smooth. In a very small saucepan heat cream over moderate heat until hot and add banana mixture, stirring until combined well. Divide mixture between two 2/3-cup ramekins. Put ramekins in a metal baking pan and fill pan with enough boiling-hot water to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Put pan in middle of oven and lay a sheet of foil over each ramekin. Bake custards until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Set broiler rack so that custard tops will be 1 1/2 to 2 inches from heat and change oven setting to broil. Alternatively, have ready a blowtorch.
  • Just before serving, very thinly slice remaining banana and arrange slices, overlapping them, over each custard. Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over bananas and heat under broiler (or with blowtorch, moving flame evenly back and forth just over sugar) until sugar is melted and caramelized.

BANANA BRULéE

Another Alton Brown favorite, this is actually part of his Banana Splitsville recipe. You can serve this with ice cream or as is.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 11m

Yield 16 banana "sticks"

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 bananas
sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • To make the bananas brulée, quarter the bananas lengthwise (peel on) and rub into sugar to coat thoroughly.
  • Remove peel and place on cooling rack over several layers of foil. (Don't try this on your dining room table.).
  • Don your safety goggles and fire up your torch. Hold the torch so that the very tip of the flame barely touches the banana, and move quickly back and forth until the sugar melts, turns brown, and bubbles. As soon as it looks like caramel, move on. You know you've got it down when a solid, glasslike sheet of gold (no graininess) has formed on the banana.

BANANA CREME BRULEE



Banana Creme Brulee image

TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE 2 HOUR CHILLING TIME: I had a wonderful banana creme brulee recipe that I made for years. But somewhere along the line, lost the recipe. I finally came across this one from Willliams-Sonoma that is very close to what I had. I'll try it tonite and see how it goes! For a perfectly creamy custard, line the baking pan with a kitchen towel, and then add the filled ramekins and boiling water. This technique works very well when making Mexican Flan and other custards. Don't skip the tea towel!!!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ripe bananas
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
8 teaspoons sugar, divided use
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Have pot of boiling water ready.
  • Peel 1 of the bananas and cut in thirds. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, cut banana and the 1/4 cup sugar.
  • Cook, stirring, until steam rises, 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and vanilla until blended.
  • Strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl; discard the cooked banana. Pour the cream into the yolks, a little at a time, stirring constantly until smooth; divide among four 6-oz. ramekins.
  • Line a 3-inch-deep baking pan with a kitchen towel, place the ramekins in the pan and add boiling water to fill the pan halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover loosely with foil and bake until set, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove the ramekins from the pan, cool to room temperature and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
  • Peel the remaining banana and slice crosswise into slices 1/8 inch thick. Arrange 7 or 8 slices over the top of each crème brûlée and sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over each surface.
  • With a kitchen torch, move the flame continuously in small circles over the surface until the sugar melts and lightly browns. Serve immediately.

BANANA PECAN BRûLéE OATMEAL FOR TWO IN A PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE - (5/5)



Banana Pecan Brûlée Oatmeal For Two in a Pressure Cooker Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup steel cut oats
1 3/4 cups water
1 tablespoon oil (I used vegetable)
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 firm-ripe banana, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar, whisked to remove lumps
1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients in pressure cooker pot, select high pressure and set to 10 minutes cook time. Do a natural pressure release (about 5 to 7 minutes.) Turn on the broiler, with the rack in the highest position. There might be extra liquid, and I prefer my oatmeal a bit thicker. I simply turned on the saute cycle and stirred this constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid had evaporated. Turn off the saute cycle. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Spoon into oven-proof ramekins and set onto a baking tray. Layer the bananas on top and top with brown sugar. Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Top oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar and broil until bananas are caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans to serve. Broil the oatmeal until it's bubbly and caramelized (watch closely, this may take 1 to 1 1/2 minutes). NOTE: I have a brûlée torch, but didn't want to use the propane, since the broiler worked just tine. Top with pecans. Lovely!

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Bananas: Opt for ripe, yellow bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Preparing the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Using Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. Avoid using bottled lemon juice for optimal taste.
  • Whisking the Egg Mixture: Whisk the egg mixture vigorously to incorporate plenty of air, resulting in a light and fluffy custard.
  • Adding the Sugar Gradually: Add the sugar gradually to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
  • Using a Wide, Heatproof Dish: A wide, heatproof dish allows the bananas to spread out evenly and cook uniformly.
  • Baking at a High Temperature: Bake the bananas at a high temperature (400°F) to create a caramelized crust while keeping the centers soft and creamy.
  • Keeping an Eye on the Bananas: Monitor the bananas during baking to prevent overcooking. Remove them from the oven as soon as the custard has set and the tops are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Banana brûlée is a delectable dessert that combines the flavors of caramelized bananas, a creamy custard, and a crunchy caramelized sugar topping. By following these detailed tips and the step-by-step recipe, you can easily create this elegant and satisfying dish at home. With its rich flavor and stunning presentation, banana brûlée is sure to impress your guests and become a favorite dessert for any occasion.
