Bananas Foster isn’t just a dessert—it’s a legend. Originally created in New Orleans, this caramelized, rum-flamed delight brings rich, buttery bananas, warm cinnamon, and a deep, boozy kick together in one irresistible dish. Served over vanilla ice cream, it’s pure indulgence. And the best part? You can make this restaurant-style classic right at home!

The classic bananas Foster recipe is said to have been created at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana, in hair of on of their regular customers, Mr. Richard Foster.

• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise and crosswise
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup light or dark rum, or to taste, warmed
• 4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream – alt sub French Vanilla

1️⃣ Melt butter & brown sugar in a pan until it turns into a rich, golden caramel.

2️⃣ Add sliced bananas & cinnamon, letting them soak up all the flavor.

3️⃣ Time for the flame! Pour in the rum and (carefully!) ignite for that signature Bananas Foster magic.

4️⃣ Serve immediately over cold vanilla ice cream and enjoy the hot-meets-cold perfection!

🔥 Pro Tip: No rum? Swap it for vanilla extract & a splash of apple juice for a family-friendly version!

Melt the butter in a skillet, add the brown sugar, and heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the bananas and sauté them 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until tender. Sprinkle the bananas with the cinnamon. Pout the warmed rum over the bananas, ignite it, and baste the bananas with the sauces until the flames are extinguished. Divide the ice cream among dessert plates, top each portion with a banana, and baste with the sauce.
