Recipe Introduction
It should come as no surprise that bananas are eaten throughout the
Caribbean in thousands of different preparations. This dish from the
island of Martinique shows its French influence with the use of dairy
products.
List of Ingredients
Bananas Celeste
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese at room temperature
1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cinnamon, plus additional for garnish
4 Tbs (60 ml) butter
4-6 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
Combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl
and mix thoroughly. Set aside. Heat the butter in a skillet over
moderate heat and saute the banana halves until light golden brown on
both sides. Arrange half the bananas in a single layer in a shallow
baking dish, top with half the cream cheese mixture, and repeat. Pour
the cream over the top and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until
the cream cheese mixture is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Garnish
with a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.Recipe
