Baked Bananas With Strawberry Flambe Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter and brown sugar together in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place bananas, cut-side down, in brown sugar mixture. Cook until just golden, about 30 seconds; flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 30 seconds.
• Remove from heat. Pour rum and banana liqueur into skillet; return skillet to high heat. Cook until alcohol ignites and flames, 1 to 3 minutes; add cinnamon. When flames die, remove skillet from heat.
• Scoop vanilla ice cream into 2 bowls. Divide bananas mixture between bowls and garnish with mint sprigs.

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:

• 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.
