Three-and-a-half tablespoons or rum
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Half a teaspoon of grounded cinnamon
3-4 bananas
1/4th cup of roughly chopped walnut
One pint point of vanilla ice cream
Steps
1. The first step will be to make the caramel sauce which is the only important part, at first you will be taking of large deep skillet(make sure that the bottom of the skillet is quite thick). Then you will put it on your Stove and turn on the heat over medium, then finally you will add your butter. Melt the butter properly and make sure it hasn’t darkened or ended up burning because that will leave a very bad aftertaste in the sauce.
2. The second step will be to add your brown sugar to the butter, and make sure to keep the heat on low, don’t end up burning the mixture(you can also add one teaspoon of normal granulated sugar). Finally, you will add in the groundnut cinnamon along with the vanilla extract, and turn it into a sauce that is a bit thinner than your regular caramel sauce consistency.
3. The third step involves peeling the Bananas, and slicing them from the top to the bottom(make sure that they are not very thin slices). Finally, you will be adding those bananas into your sauce along with the chopped walnuts.
4. This step is very crucial, you can avoid it by directly adding the rum into the sauce mixture, but we will be doing a different procedure, take the mixture off the heat and then add in your rum. After that you will be using a long stick lighter and lighting up the rum on fire, you may not see a lot of flames, but make sure you are not stirring or swirling the mixture, wait for a minute and it will diminish itself.
5. Your banana foster recipe is already, scoop it into a plate and then top it with vanilla ice cream of your own choice and serve it to your guests, families and everyone around we can assure you it will be an instant hit.
