Banana Fosters
1 half gallon of high quality vanilla ice cream (they are not all equal, we love Costco’s but Dreyers works too) Dish the ice cream into bowls before making the sauce.
Use a heavy bottomed frying pan, on the stove over medium high, using a long wooden spoon combine the following:
Melt:
1 cube of butter
Add:
1 1/2 C brown sugar–stir till a paste
Add:
1 Tbls milk– stir till smooth
Add and stir in:
6 ripe bananas– peeled, broke into thirds, push your finger down the middle of each section to separate into 3 sections
Add:
2 Tbls Bacardi Rum (it definitely burns off)
Use a long nose lighter or a grill lighter, touch the flame close to the mixture and it will light on fire!
Stir continuously till flame goes out. (I have never burned myself… knock on wood!)
