Bananas Foster |
|
This fabulous dessert was created at New Orleans’s Brennan’s restaurant in the 1950s. It was named for Richard Foster, who was a regular Brennan’s patron. One taste of the decadently rich smoothie version of this classic and you’ll be happy Mr. Foster was such a faithful customer.
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 bananas, cut into chunks
1/4 cup dark rum
2 tablespoons crème de banana or other banana liqueur
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Line a shallow bowl with nonstick aluminum foil. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat evenly. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir to make a paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the bananas, rum, and banana liqueur and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce is hot, shaking the pan back and forth occasionally. Tip the pan slightly and use a long matchstick to ignite the sauce (or simply allow the mixture to boil for a minute or two). When the flames subside, remove the pan from the heat and place it on a cooling rack. When the banana mixture is cool, transfer it to the prepared bowl and freeze for 1 hour or more.
When you are ready to make the smoothie, place the milk, banana mixture, and ice cream in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Cinnamon Wonton Crisp (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
