recipe Easy Bananas Foster Recipe - A New Orleans Classic in 5 Minutes

Bring a bit of New Orleans to your kitchen with classic Bananas Foster! This famous dessert from Brennan's is made with bananas cooked in a buttery brown sugar and rum sauce, then flambéed and served with vanilla ice cream. It sounds impressive but takes just 5 minutes to make. I'll show you how to flambé Bananas Foster safely, which pan works best, what type of rum you need and how to make it without flambéing too! It's one of those easy recipes that feels restaurant-style but is simple enough to make at home.
