Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 large, ripe plantains, peeled and sliced 1 inch thick on the diagonal
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Baked Plantains in a Brown Sugar-Rum Sauce image

This is a delicious postre (dessert) from Cuba called Plátanos Dulce (Baked Sweet Plantains). It's easy to toss together, and it's great every time.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

butter, for greasing pan
3 large plantains (fully black and soft are best)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp dark rum
2 Tbsp orange juice
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
scoops of coconut ice cream (garnish with shredded coconut)
scoops of vanilla ice cream
dollops of whipped cream

Steps:

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking dish; set aside.
2. Peel plantains and trim 1/4 inch off both ends. Slice plantains at an angle to make 1/2-inch oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping slices. (You should get 4 to 5 rows, depending on width of the plantains.)
3. Mix together the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the layers. Then drizzle the rum and orange juice over the layers. Distribute the butter pieces evenly on top.
4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and beginning to lose their shape. Cool at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or completely cooled. It's great as is, but you can also top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an added touch of sweetness.

Tips:

Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly black, with a few flecks of green. Avoid plantains that are mostly green, as they will be starchy and less flavorful.
Slice the plantains evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will not cook through; if they are too thin, they will become mushy.
Use a heavy skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the plantains from burning.
Cook the plantains over medium heat: This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn.
Flip the plantains frequently: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the plantains will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Make the butter rum sauce ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Plantains in butter rum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet, caramelized plantains are perfectly complemented by the rich, buttery rum sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
