- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (277 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg
Ingredients
- 150 g Bananas, raw
- 20 g Butter, unsalted
- 30 g Sugar, brown
- 1 g Cinnamon
- 15 g Spirits
- 1 g Vanilla extract
- 60 g Ice cream, vanilla
Method
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth, bubbling caramel.
- Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and lay them in the caramel, spooning it over them; cook for 2 minutes per side until softened and glazed.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the rum, then return to low heat and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the fumes with a long lighter or match (or simply simmer for 1 minute to cook off most of the alcohol if you prefer not to flambé).
- Once the flames die down, stir in the vanilla extract and swirl the sauce until glossy.
- Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and spoon the warm bananas and caramel sauce generously over the top.
- Serve immediately while the sauce is still warm and the ice cream is starting to melt into it.
