Bananas, bathed in a rich caramel sauce over a unique bread kicks up this Peanut Butter Bread Bananas Foster.
For my series on Elvis Presley birthplace, I wanted to do a dish inspired by his love of the
peanut butter and banana sandwich.
I made this Peanut Butter Bread. It is going to be the base of this dessert.
I then made a traditional Bananas Foster, spooned it over the amazing
Peanut Butter Bread and topped it with vanilla ice cream.
It is amazeballs!!
Peanut Butter Bread Bananas Foster!
This is the bananas on the first day I bought them. They are slightly under-ripe.
Under-ripe bananas are not good for this recipe; they’ll be tough and have a ‘chalky’ taste.
(Over-ripe bananas are not good in this recipe either, they will be too mushy and fall apart.
Like Goldilocks, bananas have to be just right for Bananas Foster!)
*You can speed the ripening process by placing them in a brown paper bag.
For ripe bananas that you are not ready to use yet, place in the refrigerator,
the skins will darken but the fruit will not ripen any further.
These bananas are just right! They have slightly speckled skins.
The fruit will be tender and sweet.
You will need rum!.
and butter
and brown sugar.
One important tip for making this recipe. Have all your ingredients (and serving dishes) ready
before you start. Once your start cooking the butter and sugar things move very quickly
and you can easily cook the brown sugar too long.
If you plan to serve it with ice cream, scoop it out and have it ready and waiting
in the freezer.
Melt butter
Have the bananas sliced before you start
I like them this size.
Toast the Peanut Butter Bread as you begin melting the butter.
Add brown sugar to melted butter on med heat. Stir and watch carefully.
Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly
If you over-cook this mixture, you’ll have brickle, or toffee, or a hard slab of burnt yuckiness!!
Add the bananas to the mixture and remove from heat
Carefully add the rum (away from any heat source)
ignite with along lighter or long match and let flames die.
I wish I had been videoing this portion for you, very entertaining, I’m sure!
Plate and serve immediately!
