The Best Bananas Foster Recipe You'll Ever Try

dark rum

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic rum extract

💰Cheaper: light rum

Non-alcoholic option for flavor without alcohol

Over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a skillet.

Add 1 cup of dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the skillet.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Slice 2 bananas in half and add them to the skillet.

Cook the bananas for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until heated through.

Pour in 1/4 cup of spiced rum and flambé by igniting the steam.

Sprinkle some cinnamon over the flame for theatricality.

Once the flame has died down, the alcohol has cooked off.

Plate the dish by placing 2 slices of grilled vanilla pound cake on the base.

Top the cake with 1 big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Layer the cooked bananas around and on top of the cake.

Drizzle the sauce all over the dish.
