Broiled bananas Foster
This simplified (and safer!) take on the flambéed New Orleans classic gives you all the joy of hot, caramelized bananas against creamy cold ice cream—just minus the live flames in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp golden or dark rum (optional)
- 3 medium-size ripe but firm bananas, peeled and split in half lengthwise
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Toasted pecans, for serving (optional)
You'll need
- Small baking dish (about 3 quarts)
Method
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt and rum.
- Place the bananas in a small baking dish, cut side up. Spread the sugar mixture over the bananas.
- Place the baking dish on the wire rack in the oven’s middle position. Set the oven to High Broil for 12 to 14 minutes.
- Broil until the bananas are golden-brown and charred in spots, and a sauce has formed.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Serve the bananas and sauce over ice cream, topped with pecans, if desired.
