Bananas Flambe With Coconut Sorbet Recipes

BANANAS FLAMBE

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.

• Remove from heat and pour rum into pan. Carefully light rum in pan, standing back to avoid flame, and allow flame to burn out, 30 seconds.
• Divide sorbet and bananas between four bowls, top with toasted coconut and a squeeze of lime juice, and serve immediately.

MALIBU BANANAS FLAMBE

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.
