Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp new jersey salted caramel *see recipe
2-3 overripe bananas
1/2 stick butter
3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 c heavy cream
2 Tbsp dark rum or brandy (optional because there is rum in the caramel)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare this recipe ahead of time: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/other-dessert/new-jersey-salted-caramel.html?p=10
  • 2. Place all ingredients in the saucepan, if you intend to flambe table side, do not add brandy/rum/or even banana liqueur now. If not, do so.
  • 3. This is different than a typical bananas foster, because it is accenting the caramel instead. If you aren't flambe-ing, cook until the alcohol is for the most part cooked out. Stirring and re-thickening back to a nice caramel.
  • 4. To flambe, place in a thick glass ice cream dish or ceramic bowl, put about 1/2-1 tablespoon of brandy/rum/banana liqueur and light.
  • 5. This serves about 4 people over 2 scoops of ice cream each, and what was left if pictured in this jar. Perhaps 6-8 servings altogether.

BANANAS FOSTER

The New York Times food editor Jane Nickerson first published this recipe in 1957 as part of an article on New Orleans-style Creole cooking. Adapted from Brennan's restaurant, this recipe is meant to be a showstopper. But it's deceptively easy. Be sure to have a lid at the ready to extinguish the flame in case things get out of hand. If you cannot find banana liqueur, just add a teaspoon more rum.
