Bananas Foster is a scrumptious dessert that is usually made with bananas, brown sugar, butter and a bit of rum. See what a green chili and a little coconut milk can do in this Bananas Foster with a surprise twist recipe! Impress your holiday guests with a dessert that is fit for a gourmet restaurant but takes you under 10 minutes to prepare!
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 5-7 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
Banana – 1, ripe but firm (sliced thick at a diagonal)
Sugar – 2 Tbsp
Green Chili – 1 or to taste (slit)
Butter – 1 tsp
Rum – 2 Tbsp
Coconut Milk – 1/4 cup
Ice Cream – 2 to 4 scoops (vanilla or coffee works well)
Method:
1. Place Sugar and Green Chili in a heavy bottom skillet on medium heat.
2. Once Sugar starts to melt, muddle the chili to release flavor.
3. When most of the Sugar is melted, stir the mixture and continue to cook until the Sugar turns a nice caramel color (total process should take approx 5 minutes).
4. Add Butter and mix.
5. Add sliced Bananas and mix to evenly coat.
6. Add Rum and tilt the pan slightly over the flame so that the bananas catch the flame.
7. Once the flame dies down, add Coconut Milk and allow the sauce to thicken a bit (bananas should not get too mushy).
8. Pour Bananas and sauce over a scoop of ice cream and serve immediately.
Hi

Hello Anuja….
nice recipe.
Any alternative of Rum
Hi girls,
I have been looking for your video of Pinacolada.
Am not able to find it. Please reply..
Wonderful recipe . Will be using apple cider though.
This is just an out of the box suggestion ladies .
Could you post videos as to how to organize pantry for an
Indian kitchen and what are the basic things to stock up and the
Essential utensils . I am sure many would benefit .
If i do add rum but dont want it to flame/tilt the pan, would it still taste good?
Very good one.. Can you please show how to make some soups like Pumpkin soup, tomato soup, Brocolli etc… Love your way of presentation. Thanks in advance!
Absolutely delicious recipe!!! Thanks for sharing. Can I dip the bananas into Milkmaid before adding it in the pan? Or will it spoil the texture, will the taste be any different?
Dear Hetal and Anuja,
I wish to learn to make Buterscotch for Buterscotch Ice cream.Can we make it in similar fashion.If not please show us in a seperate video.

Caramelize sugar, and add nuts of your choice. Mix well, take off stove, and spread on a greased plate. When cook, break butterscotch with hand. Serve with ice cream.
i need a replacement for rum ???? I dont like to have rum…
You can try apple cider but the taste will be different and it will not flame up…or you could just leave the rum out.
I would liketo make this without rum,any suggestions,not all indians drink alcohol.
You can try apple cider or other type of juice, but the taste will be different and it will not flame up…or you could just leave the rum out.
What can we use instead of rum.
Hi Sabha,

Hi,
Looks Yummy! I don’t want to add alcohol to this recipe as i will be making this for kids. Wondering if I can add orange juice or vanilla extract instead. What do you suggest?
Thanks,
Jay
Hi Jay,
You can try apple cider but the taste will be different and it will not flame up…or you could just leave the rum out. Not sure how orange juice will taste with coconut milk, but vanilla extract is a possibility.
It’s possible to use flavoured syrups (usually used to sweeten coffee) rather than anything acidic – such as apple or orange – which could curdle the dessert. A spoonful of hazelnut or maple syrup would work well here.
Hi Milady,
That is a fantastic suggestion! Thanks a bunch!
I have an electric stove. How do I get the flame?
easy get a lighter or match
HI Hina,
You can use a kitchen lighter.
Looks like a delicious recipe :). Any substitute for Rum?
You can leave it out…it won’t flame up but will still taste good.
