Best 4 Tropical Fruit Flambà Recipes

BANANA FLAMBE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes liquid. Add the butter and the sliced banana. Cook for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and then add the banana liqueur.
• Continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat once again, then add the brandy. Once you put the pan back in the heat, it should flambe. Remove the pan from the heat and start spooning the flambeed banana into the ice cream glass. Add the chocolate syrup and the whipped cream. On top of the whipped cream, right in the center, place the cleaned strawberry, then place the sugar cube in the center of the strawberry. Pour a little bit of the brandy on top of the sugar and carefully ignite it with a match.

PINEAPPLE RUM FLAMBé RECIPE

Steps:

• Place brown sugar in a shallow soup bowl. Press each pineapple ring into the brown sugar, coating both sides.
• Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet on medium-low heat. When hot, place pineapple slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until nicely browned. Flip the slices and brown the other side.
• Move skillet far from the heat source, carefully pour in warmed rum , and ignite with a long match or barbecue lighter to flambé. Return to heat and let the alcohol burn off. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. (Depending on the size of the pineapple, you may need to do this in two skillets.)
• Pineapple slices may be served simply, with the pan sauce, or as a topping for pound cake or over ice cream .

BANANAS FLAMBE

Steps:

• Remove 4 strips orange zest with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze the orange and strain the juice.
• Melt the butter with the sugar, orange zest and vanilla bean in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the liqueur, orange juice and a pinch of salt.
• Return the skillet to medium heat, add the bananas, cut-side down, and cook until glazed and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and divide among bowls.
• Add the rum to the pan and return to medium heat. Warm for a few seconds without stirring, then carefully tilt the pan so the rum ignites (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match near the sauce to ignite it). Spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas. Garnish with whipped cream and the glazed orange zest.
