Easy Bananas Foster Recipe: A Famous New Orleans Dessert Recipe With a Little Drama by 30Seconds Food
The famous bananas foster dessert recipe was invented at Brennan's restaurant in New Orleans. The iconic dessert is not only popular because it's sweet and absolutely delicious, but at the restaurant it is flamed tableside. You can skip the flames at home, but if you want the drama, do it! Just be careful and always tilt the pan away from you when igniting.
To make this bananas foster recipe, melt the butter and add the bananas. They cook about two minutes before adding brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. That cooks for a couple minutes, and you're done, if you don't want to flame the dessert. Top hot bowls of the bananas foster with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Bananas foster is a fun dessert to serve any time, but especially during the Mardi Gras season. Your guests are going to love it!
