Bananas Foster is a decadent treat typically made with butter, sugar and bananas, then flambeed with dark rum for a deceptively easy, yet showstopping dessert.

Categories     dessert

Time 6h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 medium bananas, sliced
1/2 cup pecan halves, chopped

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, dark rum, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the alcohol is cooked off, the mixture is bubbling and thickened, and the sugar is mostly dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bananas and cook, stirring, until the bananas are just warmed through and coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Evenly divide among six 3.1-ounce frozen pop molds (1/3 cup per mold), making sure to leave a little space at the top and using a rubber spatula to scrape out the filling if needed. Sprinkle the top of each pop with some pecans and gently press to adhere. Insert the pop sticks and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. To serve, run the frozen molds under warm water before unmolding. The pops can be frozen for up to 1 month.

BANANAS FOSTER ICE CREAM CAKE



Bananas Foster Ice Cream Cake image

This recipe was adapted from "Taste of the South Magazine 2006". I made this for my husband's birthday, and it was a hit with both adults and kids. This cake has alternating layers of butter cake, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon-caramel sauce, toasted pecans and is topped with bananas in cinnamon-caramel sauce. This is a decadent dessert that takes time to prepare but is so worth every minute. (Note: Preparation time includes time needed for cakes to cool and ice cream to harden between layers and atop the cake.)

Time 4h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package butter recipe cake mix (I used Duncan Hines Classic Butter Golden Cake Mix)
3 eggs, large
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (toasted)
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
3 bananas (under-ripe, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices)
2 tablespoons butter
1 (12 1/4 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping (I used Smucker's)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Spray two 8-inch round cake tins with cooking oil. Flour lightly.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, water, 1/2 cup softened butter and eggs at low speed. Then beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. Pour batter evenly into pans and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes. Then place cakes in the freezer until ready to assemble.
  • Toast chopped pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  • Pour caramel ice cream topping into a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside. Reserve remaining caramel sauce for drizzling the cake later.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbs. butter. Once the butter begins to bubble slightly, add sliced bananas. Saute for 2 minutes. Then add half of the caramel sauce mixture, stir until bubbling, remove from heat and set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to place atop the cake.
  • To assemble, place one cake layer onto a cake plate. Top with half the ice cream, making sure to leave at least 1/4 inch of space around the edge of the cake (to allow for melting and settling). Sprinkle with toasted pecans and drizzle with reserved caramel sauce.
  • Return both ice-cream-topped cake and ice cream carton to freezer for 30 minutes. Then add second layer of cake, top with ice cream and sprinkle with pecans.
  • To finish off, place bananas in a mound atop the cake. Drizzle around the edges of the cake with remaining caramel sauce and sprinkle with remaining pecans.
  • Freeze for 2-4 hours or until ready to serve. If the cake is frozen-hard, allow to sit at room temperature for 5-8 minutes or until softened to your liking.
  • Freeze any remaining cake.
