Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 medium banana

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 fluid ounce brandy

  • ¼ cup pineapple chunks, drained

  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. Cut banana in half, then cut each half in 4 slices lengthwise.

  2. Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook until melted and caramelized, about 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple chunks. Add banana slices and cook for 1 minute, flipping halfway through.

  3. Pour brandy all over bananas. Set on fire with a match or BBQ lighter. The brandy will burn quickly and while it burns, gently shake the pan to be sure all alcohol burns off.

  4. Put 2 slices of bananas each into 4 small bowls. Top with vanilla ice cream and a little bit of syrup from the frying pan. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

Using pineapple is optional.
