Easy Bananas Foster

Bananas Foster

®

Slice the bananas on the bias for oval shapes that make a great presentation!

I'm not going to suggest that you serve this the traditional way...on fire...instead, the alcohol in the rum simply bakes out! - 

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons spiced rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 bananas, peeled and sliced into 3/4-inch thick discs
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
• Vanilla wafers, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bananas in a 1.5-quart baking dish.
2. Add butter, brown sugar, rum, vanilla extract and cinnamon to a sauce pot over medium-high heat until simmering. Pour mixture over bananas.
3. Bake for 8 minutes, just long enough to soften bananas. Serve at the table, smothering over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and garnishing with a vanilla wafer.
