Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp allspice - ground
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg - freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup banana liqueur
  • 4 bananas - underripe, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup dark rum
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest - freshly grated

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dessert Crêpe recipe (see below) and set the crêpes aside.
  • Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice together in a small bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the melted butter and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the banana liqueur and 1/4 cup of the rum. Cook for a minute, then add the bananas.
  • Turn the bananas gently with tongs and spoon sauce over them.
  • Pour remaining rum over the banana mixture and ignite. Continue to spoon sauce over the bananas until the flames die down. Remove from the heat and assemble the crêpes.
  • Open a crêpe on a dessert plate and drizzle a little bit of the sauce in the middle, and then spread it over the crêpe. Fold the crêpe in half and drizzle a little bit more of the sauce on it. Fold the crêpe again to form a triangle. Place two banana pieces on top of the crape. Add a scoop of ice cream to the side. Drizzle with more sauce.
