BANANAS FOSTER PIE

Texas de Brazil

I was at Texas de Brazil for a birthday celebration and had the most amazing bananas pie I have ever had. I love any dessert that has bananas. Everything was super creamy and was served with a grilled bananas. YUM!! 

Bananas Foster

Ingredients

1 stick salted butter

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 bananas

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1/2 cup dark rum

Dash cinnamon

Vanilla Ice Cream, for serving

Directions

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar. Stir together and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the cream and stir it around to combine.

Peel the bananas and slice them on the bias inside the peel. Drop the slices into the pan. Next, add the chopped nuts and stir them into the sauce. Then - and this is where you need to be a little careful - stir in the rum. Let it start to bubble, and then carefully use a long lighter to ignite it. (Be sure to have a lid handy in case you need to extinguish the flame.) Let the fire burn and go out (it'll only take about 30 seconds or so), and then stir in the cinnamon at the end. You may also cook the mixture without flambeing it.

Spoon it over a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately.

Spoon bananas Foster over French toast, waffles or crepes. Substitute peaches, pears or cherries for the bananas. Of course, then it probably wouldn't be considered bananas Foster.

This recipe isn't the exact same but something similar.
