Bananas Flambe Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes liquid. Add the butter and the sliced banana. Cook for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and then add the banana liqueur.
• Continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat once again, then add the brandy. Once you put the pan back in the heat, it should flambe. Remove the pan from the heat and start spooning the flambeed banana into the ice cream glass. Add the chocolate syrup and the whipped cream. On top of the whipped cream, right in the center, place the cleaned strawberry, then place the sugar cube in the center of the strawberry. Pour a little bit of the brandy on top of the sugar and carefully ignite it with a match.

Steps:

• Melt the butter gently in a large saute pan. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Add the cinnamon and cook until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Toss in the bananas.
• Turn the heat up to high, pull the pan off the burner and add the rum and tip into the flame to allow the flame to "JUMP" into the pan and set on fire! Do this carefully and respectfully but have fun, it's all about the show.
• Spoon over ice cream and try not to eat it all yourself.

Steps:

• Remove 4 strips orange zest with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze the orange and strain the juice.
• Melt the butter with the sugar, orange zest and vanilla bean in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the liqueur, orange juice and a pinch of salt.
• Return the skillet to medium heat, add the bananas, cut-side down, and cook until glazed and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and divide among bowls.
• Add the rum to the pan and return to medium heat. Warm for a few seconds without stirring, then carefully tilt the pan so the rum ignites (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match near the sauce to ignite it). Spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas. Garnish with whipped cream and the glazed orange zest.

Steps:

• Take 2 ripe, but not soft bananas and cut in half, then split lengthwise. Melt a few Tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 2-3 Tablespoons brown sugar and stir.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar and cinnamon; stir frequently and cook until sugar dissolves and sauce is thick, about 3 minutes. Add banana liqueur.
• Slice bananas in half lengthwise and gently place in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, then gently turn and cook until brown and soft, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Add coffee-flavored liqueur and cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Tip the skillet slightly and ignite the rum with a lighter. Remove skillet from the heat.
• Scoop ice cream into 4 bowls. Add a banana to each bowl and pour warm sauce over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel bananas and arrange them, whole, side by side in a buttered baking dish.
• Spread the butter on top of the bananas.
• Rinse and hull the strawberries.
• Arrange them in rows in the spaces between the bananas.
• Sprinkle brown sugar over the berries and bananas.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bananas are cooked through.
• Don't overbake.
• To serve, warm the Grand Marnier and pour it over the bananas and berries.
• Light immediately.
• For the most impressive effect, do this at the table with the lights dim so the flame will show.
• Serve as soon as the fire goes out.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter and then add in the brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Take off heat as soon as it all combines and melts together; it will take a minute or less.
• Spray Pam on the bottom of a glass/ceramic 9x9 baking dish.
• Cut bananas in half and then in half again (so in quarters) and place them cut side down in the dish.
• Sprinkle the nuts over and around the bananas.
• Drizzle the butter/sugar mixture over the bananas and nuts.
• Bake uncovered approximately 10 minutes, or until sauce is warm and bubbly. Remove from oven.
• Heat rum until warm, remove from the stove/flame. With the saucepan out in front of you (don't look down into the pan while you do this or you might loose some eyebrows), ignite the rum and pour over top the bananas. Wait for the flames to go out, then serve them up by themselves or on top of vanilla ice cream.
