Source of Recipe
Arca max
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
8 ripe bananas
1/2 cup Kahlua
Vanilla ice cream
Recipe
Melt butter in chafing dish and then add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Slice bananas in half lengthwise. Add bananas to brown sugar mixture and stir to coat. Cook bananas, stirring constantly for about one minute. Place individual portions of ice cream in separate serving dishes and get ready to serve. Add Kahlua to banana mixture and then light with a match. Quickly spoon flaming banana mixture over each dish of ice cream and serve immediately. We would not recommend wearing a tie or scarf when serving this recipe. Chef Flambe is not the result you want with this dish.
The Skinny: Serve with frozen yogurt rather than ice cream. Use your favorite sugar substitute for the brown sugar. I don't think there is any substitute for the liquor...without some alcohol you won't get any flame and you can't have flambe without a flame.
