Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbs. dark brown sugar
- 2 Tbs. fresh orange juice
- 1 Tbs. dark rum
- 1 Tbs. Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
- 1 Tbs. banana liqueur
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 slightly underripe bananas, halved lengthwise,
- then halved crosswise
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 475°F.
- Select a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the bananas in a single layer. Combine the butter and brown sugar in the dish and place in the preheating oven. Watch carefully to prevent burning. When the butter has melted, remove the dish from the oven and stir in the orange juice, rum, orange and banana liqueurs, lemon juice and cinnamon.
- Place the bananas in the dish and stir gently to coat evenly with the liqueurs, juice and other seasonings. Spread the bananas out in a single layer.
- Roast the bananas, basting 2 or 3 times with the pan juices, until softened and tinged with gold, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Divide the ice cream among individual bowls. Top with the warm bananas and the juices from the dish, dividing evenly. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
