Havana Bananas Foster

Havana Bananas Foster
Difficulty: Easy



Ingredients
4 ripe Plaintains, peeled
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/2 cup dark rum
1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream of good quality store bought vanilla ice cream

Directions
Cut the plaintains in angle slices
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the plaintain and turning, cook on both sides until the plaintains start to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the banana liqueur and stir to blend into the caramel sauce. Carefully add the rum and shake the pan back and forth to warm the rum and flame the pan. (Or, off the heat, carefully ignite the pan with a match and return to the heat.) Shake the pan back and forth, basting the plaintains, until the flame dies.
Divide the ice cream among 4 dessert plates. Gently lift the plaintains from the pan and place 6 pieces on each scoop of ice cream. Spoon the sauce over the ice cream and plaintains, and serve immediately
Serves 4
