Mexican Bananas Flambe With Ice Cream Platanos Flameados 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:

• Put scoops of Ice cream in four dishes and keep in the freezer until serving.
• Just before serving melt butter (margarine) in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat Stir in the sugar.
• Add Orange juice & Lime juice.
• Cook stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened 6-8 minutes.
• Add Kahlua.
• Add bananas to the sauce, cook turning the bananas gently, heat just through and turn in the sauce so they are all coated evenly.
• Heat the rum in a small saucepan over low heat for about 1 minute or until just warm (Do not allow to bubble).
• Pour rum over the hot banana mixture, immediately ignite (use a long match).
• Stir with long handle spoon until flame subside.
• Place bananas around the ice cream and spoon sauce over all.
• Serve immediately.

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:

• 1. Place 1 scoop ice cream in each of 4 dessert dishes in freezer.
• 2. Just before serving, peel bananas; cut lengthwise into halves. (If using regular bananas, cut each half crosswise into thirds.)
• 3. Melt butter in 10-inch skillet over medium high heat. Stir in piloncillo; add orange juice and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes.
• 4. Add bananas to sauce; cook, turning gently, just to heat through and coat with sauce, about 1 minute. Gently stir in liqueur. Remove from heat.
• 5. Heat rum in very small saucepan over low heat just until barely warm to touch, about 30 seconds; do not allow to bubble. Pour rum over hot banana mixture; immediately ignite with long match. Stir with long-handled spoon until flames subside.
• 6. Place warm bananas around ice cream; spoon sauce over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut bananas in half crosswise, and then lengthwise. Toss with lemon juice, and set aside.
• Combine margarine and brown sugar in a large skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until sugar melts. Add bananas; cook 2 minutes.
• Turn bananas, and cook an additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and remove from heat. Heat rum in a small saucepan just until warm; remove from heat, and ignite. Pour over banana mixture and let flames die down. Serve immediately over ice milk.

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.
• Add bananas.
• Cook until fairly warm and starting to soften (about 1 min.). Flip bananas and allow to cook an additional 30 seconds.
• Add rum to taste, and swirl in pan a bit. Allow to thicken slightly, remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the whole bananas or plantains on a baking sheet and bake, turning them every 10 minutes, until the peel starts to split and the inside is tender when tested with a skewer, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep on the baking sheet. Carefully slice the peel lengthwise to just reveal the flesh and drizzle with some crema and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to plates to serve individually, on a platter, or directly on the baking sheet on the table. Either way, people should carve out their own banana. Serve the remaining crema and cheese in bowls on the side, in case anyone wants more.

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.
• 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.
