Today, we are very happy to have Bridget join us in the kitchen to make one of my all time favorite desserts, bananas flambe. This is one of the first desserts that I ever learned how to make and it has been a household favorite for many years. It is a very simple dessert to prepare but will wow your guests, if it doesn’t, I’ll come to your next dinner party and prepare it myself.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Banana, Sliced
1/8 Cup Rum
DIRECTIONS:
Combine butter and brown sugar over medium high heat until butter and sugar melt into a syrup like consistency.
Add bananas and coat with syrup mixture. Pour in rum and touch to flame. Allow flame to burn and sauce to reduce slightly.
Serve over ice cream.

Yum-o! Can’t wait to try it…I need to have a dinner party now! BTW, I think I want to take a stab at videography - seems like it could be a lot of fun! And I LOVE that Halie gets so excited about Bananas Flambe - cracks me up! I hope she got enough and didn’t have to run away from home today

Delicious!! We loved this. I used the spiced rum instead of coconut and I added some chocolate curls to the top. I must say that this is now a family FAVORITE!!
