Bananas Foster
Report
Bananas Foster is the best 10-minute flambé dessert with caramelized bananas topped with chilled vanilla ice cream. A New Orleans classic! Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- 3 medium bananas peeled and sliced lengthwise, then crosswise
- ¼ cup dark rum
- 2 coops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Make the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk constantly for about a minute, until the mixture starts to bubble.
- Soften the bananas. Add the bananas cut side down, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized. Then use a spatula to flip the bananas over.
- Flambé the sauce. Turn off the heat (this is super important!) and add the rum while the sauce is still bubbling. Use a long-reach lighter to ignite the sauce and flambé, shaking the pan until the flame goes out.
- Serve with ice cream. Divide the bananas and sauce between two serving plates, and top with a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy warm with melting ice cream!
Equipments used:
Notes
- tablespoons of rum and 2 tablespoons of banana liquor for a stronger banana flavor.
- To store leftovers: Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bananas may soften over time, but the flavor will still be delicious.
- Reheating method #1: Place the leftover bananas and sauce in a pan over low heat and gently stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until warmed through.
- Reheating method #2: Microwave in 10 to 15-second increments, while stirring the sauce in between to prevent overheating.
- Banana liquor tip: Traditionally, banana liquor is used in addition to the rum, but I've omitted that as I know many people won't have it on hand. If you do have it, you can use 2 tablespoons of rum and 2 tablespoons of banana liquor for a stronger banana flavor.
- If you're making this for a crowd, you can add two more bananas and slice all the bananas into pieces, rather than halve them.
- If you'd like, you can also add a pinch of nutmeg.
