Caramelized Bananas With Rum Sauce And Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté banana, cut sides down, shaking skillet, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat (away from flame) and sprinkle brown sugar around banana, then pour rum around banana. Return skillet to heat and continue to sauté, shaking skillet occasionally, until sugar begins to melt, about 30 seconds.
• Add water, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve banana hot, sprinkled with nuts.

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk together egg yolks and 2/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, bring milk and 2/3 cup cream to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk into egg mixture. Pour mixture into pan, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until thick enough to coat the spatula, about 1 minute (do not let boil). Pour custard into a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water, and let cool, stirring occasionally. Puree bananas with half the custard in a blender until smooth, and transfer to bowl with remaining custard. Stir in vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup cream until combined, and pour through a fine sieve into another bowl. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• Place water, corn syrup, and remaining sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally (do not stir). Raise heat to high, and continue to cook in same manner until mixture turns deep amber, about 9 minutes more. Remove from heat, and slowly pour in remaining cream. Add remaining salt, and simmer caramel 1 minute. Place pan in a bowl of ice water, and let cool until warm but not hot. Remove from ice bath, and whisk in butter, a few pieces at a time, until fully incorporated.
• Place a 5-by-10-inch loaf pan (9 cups) in freezer at least 10 minutes. Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Spread one-third of ice cream in pan, and drizzle with one-third of caramel (it should be fluid but just barely warm; reheat slightly if necessary). Swirl caramel into ice cream with a wooden skewer. Repeat 2 more times until all the ice cream and caramel have been used. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a medium fire in the grill.
• 2. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a shallow dish. Peel the bananas, cut in half lengthwise, and then again crosswise. Add the bananas to the butter mixture and toss very gently to coat.
• 3. Grill the bananas, turning once, until a crispy brown coating of caramelized sugar forms on the surface, about 5 minutes per side. Watch carefully; don't allow the sugar to char.
• 4. Remove from the grill and, if desired, drizzle the rum or liqueur on top. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add bananas and saute until they turn brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar over the bananas and cook until the sugar melts, about another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour rum into skillet; ignite with a match and let the flames die out.
• Divide ice cream among 4 serving dishes and spoon bananas over. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pour cream and half and half into heavy medium saucepan. Bring mixture just to simmer. Whisk yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan and stir over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 7 minutes (do not boil). Strain custard into clean large bowl. Stir in rum and vanilla. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
• Puree bananas and lemon juice in processor until smooth. Stir into custard. Process in ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to covered container and freeze. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease 13x9-inch baking dish with 1 Tbsp. of the butter; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. of the brown sugar.
• Cut each banana crosswise in half, then cut lengthwise in half. Place banana pieces, cut-sides down, in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice; drizzle with honey. Dot with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with remaining 3 Tbsp. brown sugar.
• Bake 6 min. Pour rum over bananas; turn bananas over to evenly coat both sides of each banana.
• Serve bananas over scoops of ice cream; top with the sauce from bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is melted and light brown. Slowly stir in the cream (mixture will bubble up).
• Let mixture boil 1 minute, then reduce heat to low. Place the bananas in the pan and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Make the Caramel
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the brown sugar and butter. Allow both to melt and mix well using a heatproof silicone spatula.
• Fry the Bananas
• When the caramel is hot and bubbly, add the bananas, cut side down, along with the pecans. Allow the bananas to cook for about 3 minutes before turning them over. The cut side should have a deep golden brown color and a slightly crispy texture. (Depending on the ripeness of the banana, they may break. Don't worry about this; they will still be delicious.)
• Cook for another 2 minutes, using a spoon to drizzle the caramel sauce over the bananas to keep infusing them with caramel flavor.
• Serve
• Place the bananas on a serving dish or platter, top with scoops of ice cream, and drizzle the caramel sauce and nuts all over it.
• COOKING NOTES
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• The bananas are best served just after they are made. They will lose their crispy caramelized texture as they sit but will still retain their flavor so long as they are not refrigerated.
• If you must make them in advance, the bananas can be held in a warm oven for a few hours.
