Ingredients

Vanilla Ice Cream

• 1 recipe No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

Bananas Foster Sauce

• 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream , or substitute the same amount whipping cream
• 1/2 cup dark rum, I use Myers Dark Rum
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

1. Prepare the No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream ahead of time or use store-bought vanilla ice cream.

Bananas Foster Sauce

1. In a large, heavy skillet, over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and add the brown sugar, stir until combined. Add the cream, bananas, and nuts. The mixture should bubble but not burn. Pour in dark rum and combine. Using a lighter wand light the mixture and it should go out on its own. Remove from heat, stir in cinnamon, and optional vanilla extract. Ladle over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy right away!

Notes

You can also keep the sauce in the refrigerator. Please note: Be careful of the open flame! If you don't want to ignite the rum, just cook the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
