Flaming bananas
Date: April 26, 2008
4 large scoop rich vanilla or coffee ice cream
10 ripe finger bananas or 4 regular size bananas
1/4 normal cup butter or margarine
1/4 normal cup piloncillo or brown sugar
1/2 normal cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
1/4 normal cup golden rum
Place 1 scoop ice cream in each of 4 dessert dishes, put into freezer.
Just before serving, peel bananas, cut lengthwise into halves. If using regular bananas, cut each half crosswise into thirds. Melt butter in 10-inch skillet over average-high heat. Stir in piloncillo, add orange juice and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Add bananas to sauce, cook, turning gently, just to heat through and coat with sauce, about 1 minute. Gently stir in liqueur. Remove from heat.
Heat rum in little saucepan over low heat just until barely warm to touch, about 30 seconds, do not allow to bubble. Pour rum over hot banana mixture, immediately ignite with long match. Stir with long-handled spoon until flames subside.
Place warm bananas around ice cream, spoon sauce over top.
Serve immediately.
