Before You Get Started

This process is a lot of fun and amazingly impressive – but it can also be very dangerous. You’re playing with fire when you make bananas foster, so use caution, and maybe have a lid or fire extinguisher handy.

Not a big drinker? You only need 2 ounces of banana liqueur and 2 ounces of dark rum for this recipe, so opt for a mini bottle (a.k.a. airplane bottle) of each! That way, you don’t end up with a ton of leftover liquor you won’t use.

How to Make This Recipe

Melt butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a large flambé pan or heavy skillet. Make sure you don’t let the butter or the sugar burn! Keep stirring or whisking the ingredients together until they’re just incorporated, then add in the banana liqueur.

Cheryl’s Tip: If you don’t have a flambé pan, you don’t have to rush out and buy one just for this recipe. I mean, you can if you want to, I won’t stop you! Almost any large, heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan will work, though. Just don’t use a non-stick skillet! The non-stick coating isn’t designed to handle the high temp of alcohol on fire.

Add the Bananas

Toss the quartered bananas into the pan and sauté them until they’re just soft – not mushy! Keep the mixture moving while they sauté so the bananas don’t stick to the pan and the sugar doesn’t burn.

En Flambé

You can use a long fireplace lighter to ignite the dish, or you can use the flame of your gas stove. I’ve included the process for both methods down below! Whichever way you choose to set your rum ablaze, be careful, especially if this is your first time trying it. The flame will have some height, so plan accordingly.

Fashionable

Let the flame (and the oohs and ahhs) die down, then stir or toss the banana mixture to help all the alcohol burn off, making sure all the banana quarters are well-coated in the sauce. When you’re ready, spoon the bananas into serving bowls with scoops of vanilla ice cream, cover everything with that amazing bananas foster sauce, then dig in!
