Method
A decadent culinary journey to the Caribbean without the carbon footprint, here bananas are flambéed in rum and cooked in a delicious buttery sugar sauce. Coconut cream and flakes complete this tropical treat of a dessert.
- Melt the sugar in a large frying pan over a medium heat until the sugar is turning golden brown. Shake the pan but do not stir.
- Add the butter, nutmeg and cinnamon and swirl into the hot sugar until melted. Add the banana pieces and toss in the syrup until they are caramelised and golden.
- Add the rum, then carefully tip the pan so the flame just catches the alcohol in the pan and sets it alight. It will burn for a few seconds, then burn out. This removes most of the alcohol content but leaves the rum flavour. If you don’t have a gas hob, light with a match. Pour in the coconut cream and swirl to combine.
- Serve 3 pieces of banana per person (there will be an extra piece for the chef!) with the hot rum sauce poured over, a blob of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of toasted coconut.
