Betty's Dramatic and Delicious Bananas Foster

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Dramatic and Delicious Bananas Foster. This is a banana dessert with a brown sugar-cinnamon glaze that is flamed with rum and served with vanilla ice cream. Dramatic and delicious!

Ingredients;

½ stick (1/4 cup) butter
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 fresh bananas, sliced
¼ cup golden or dark rum (You may use banana liqueur or a mixture of rum and banana liqueur, if you prefer. If you do not want to use alcohol, you may use rum flavoring, and you will just stir it in with no flaming.)
vanilla ice cream

Melt ½ stick butter in a medium skillet over low to medium heat. Stir in ¾ cup light brown sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Heat until the mixture is liquefied and smooth. Add 4 cups sliced bananas, and stir until all banana slices are thoroughly coated. Pour ¼ cup rum over the top of the bananas. Use a butane lighter or fireplace match to ignite the rum. Let the banana mixture flame until the flames subside. This will burn off all of the alcohol from the rum, leaving the rum-flavored brown sugar-cinnamon sauce. While banana mixture is warm, place 3 or 4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream on a nice dessert plate. Spoon the warm banana mixture to the side of the ice cream scoops, or spoon it over the top. Serve immediately, while the ice cream is cold and the bananas are warm. This is a dramatic and showy dessert, but, best of all—the taste is magnificent! I hope you love this recipe! --Betty ♥♥♥♥♥

Thanks Betty! I was wondering how the alcohol was supposed to ignite.

[bettyskitchen]

@TreeDwellnGnome The best way to ignite the alcohol is to heat it over low heat in a separate small pan. When it gets hot enough, it will flame on its own. Then you can combine the flaming liquor with the hot fruit mixture.

Hi Betty, found this recipe a couple weeks ago and finally made. Is there such a thing as something so delicious your eyeballs roll back in your head! LOL Chocolate ice cream has been my favorite for 50 yrs with Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey being a close second. Now I buy vanilla and add this over top, so amazingly good. I also experimented with making a homemade strawberry syrup until it was just right and use that as well. But your Banana Foster is super good. Thanks for sharing.

@KissHope Thanks for your great feedback on the Banas Foster. I like your idea about using strawberry syrup--what a good combination with vanilla ice cream!

@IanzGurrl I read every comment, but, as you must realize, with the number of comments I get every day, it is impossible to answer everyone. I try to answer anyone who is making a recipe of mine and does not understand the instructions. You'll notice that I've only addressed one comment on this recipe, because it was a "need-to-know" question. Complicating matters, our 22-year-old nephew died a week ago, and I have been just uploading every other day and letting comments slide. I'm sorry.--Betty

Take care,
