Is it just me or are you getting sick of winter too?
Give me some sun, give me some tropics, give me some Virgin Banana Fosters.
Banana Fosters is a deliciously rich dessert that is filled with spiced bananas and walnuts floating in an intense caramel sauce.
It’s usually drowned in rum then flambéd to cook off the alcohol, but I skipped the alcohol to make this a family friendly dessert that will surely become a favorite.
Don’t worry though, the rum flavor is still there with a rum extract.
Oh yes, you will get the full Banana Fosters effect with this one.
There is something so enticing about a warm and cold dessert.
The flavors of the cold vanilla ice cream succumbing to the hot spiced bananas and walnuts is pure bliss.
You need this in your life.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2/3 cups dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp rum extract
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas, cut into 1 inch slices
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- In a medium sized sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, rum extract, vanilla extract, and cinnamon then bring to a slight bubble.
- Add bananas and walnuts, coat with sauce mixture and let cook until heated through for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoys!
Okay I guess I could skip the rum
sounds classic!!
