Recipe Thursday - Bananas Foster Flambe


This is a favorite of my husbands and kids so you know it is definitely not low fat! It is actually really simple to make.

4 tablespoons butter
3 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
4 bananas (cut into half lengthwise, then halved)
¼ cup rum
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream

Melt butter into a flambé or low pan. Add sugar, cinnamon, banana liqueur and stir to mix. Heat for a few minutes. Place banana quarters in sauce and sauté until soft and slightly browned. Add rum and allow to heat then ignite the sauce. Allow the sauce to flame until it dies out, tipping the pan in a circular motion to prolong flaming. Place ice cream into 4 individual bowls. Pour the sauce and bananas over the ice cream and serve immediately.
