Yes, you read that right! This is a bananas foster dupe that yields a totally gorgeous and delicious result! This is for all you girls that love bananas foster but are terrified you might singe your eyebrows off trying to make it at home! (Side bar: Especially if you were the child who was trying to imitate your much cooler, older sister who got her eyebrows waxed, and in your 8 year old state of mind, decided it would be a great to go ahead and throw a nice strip of Scotch tape over your eyebrow to replicate the process. Leaving a bald spot on your brow that would take many years of brow therapy (brow waxing and shaping appointments) and tubes of a regrowth serum to come back from.) Saving time and saving your eyebrows, this recipe is everything you need!
For Ice Cream:
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Optional: 1/4 cup dark rum
Method:
Freeze ice cream maker bowl at 0 degrees for 24 hours.
In a large bowl combine, milk, sugar, and salt. Stir together until sugar and salt are dissolved.
Add in cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg (and rum if you please). Stir until incorporated.
Cover and chill for 2 hours, or if needing quicker, put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Pull out mix and give it a final stir. If the cinnamon looks clumpy in the mixture, don’t panic. Your mixer will take care of it!
Pour into ice cream bowl and make according to your machine’s settings.
Once completed, put in a freezing container, and let harden for 3-4 hours or overnight.
For Bananas Foster:
Ingredients:
4 peeled bananas
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
a dash of nutmeg
4 tablespoons of butter, cut into 8 pieces
4 sheets of foil to wrap bananas in
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 or if you’re using a grill, a medium-hot fire. (If you’re grilling meat prior to grilling this, wait about 5-10 minutes for the grill to cool down and bit and then you’re good to go. See also: girl, eat that delicious steak and then worry about your dessert!)
Place bananas on their sides on each piece of foil.
Divide seasonings evenly between each banana.
Place two pieces of butter on each banana.
Bring all of the foil seams to the top and fold down (like a little banana tent). You don’t want any butter spilling out into your grill or the bottom of your oven!
Place on the grill for 15 minutes, or until banana is soft. If you’re using an oven, place bananas on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until banana is soft.
Serve immediately with cinnamon ice cream and enjoy!
