Ingredients
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup dark-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark or gold rum
- 3 bananas, peeled, halved crosswise and then lengthwise
Directions
-
Set ice cream out to soften. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter, sugar, and rum over medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until smooth and bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes.
-
Add bananas, and cook, gently swirling skillet, until bananas are just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Scoop ice cream into bowls, and top with bananas and caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
This is such a yummy recipe - for adults. I have a slight revision for kids...instead of the rum use real maple syrup, and top with pecans and real whipped cream infused with vanilla bourbon. This is definately one way I've gotten my children to eat the bananas that they might otherwise consider a bit too ripe. Enjoy!
sorry for saying it three times...I was having computer problems...
This is a delightful dessert. If entertaining, if you have a small portable gas stove (usually the kind used for camping, etc.) you can prepare this dessert tableside for your guests. Go ahead and flambe the rum, it adds to the excitement of the evening and will surely impress your guests. Please, no requests for nutritional information, this is DESSERT. Of course it's fattening and probably should be eaten on rare or special occasions. You've got a brain, so USE IT.
