Excellent recipe. I used Hawaiian apple bananas, they are not as sweet and have little acidity. Also I had in fridge some figs so I added them in. Good combination.
Yum
Made it as a bbq dessert using the left over heat from the coals. Worked beautifully & was absolutely delicious. Will definitely do again.
it tastes delicious but it is neither flambeed nor bruleed so it wasn’t exactky what i was looking for…
Soooo good!!! A family favorite! & So easy to make!
I’m this is my go to brunch recipe and it’s delicious. I can’t believe it took so long to rate it but I’ve been using it for ages. I usually just omit the walnuts because I don’t like them. I made the last round with vanilla infused bourbon and it was amazing.
I had no rum so I used Cointreau. Awesome flavor! I also flambéed it for fx.
Great recipe. Only change I made was Candied pecans instead of walnuts try it it’s phenomenal
This was absolutely phenomenal! I did use vodka instead of rum (because that’s all I had) but it was still one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing this!
Made it and it was delicious. Everyone devoured it. I couldn’t get the flambé to work. Assuming I burned off the alcohol to fast.
The only alteration I made to this recipe was I used brandy instead of dark rum because that was what I had on hand and it was delicious! Will definitely make again after I go buy some dark rum!
I left the run out. It was really good
I made this for years in the restaurant, this is the same recipe we used. With the exception, we served it over pound cake and ice cream.
Made for my son’s birthday today. add banana and strawberries plus less rum so I could add strawberry and banana extract.
It was good. I liked the addition of the walnuts. I will still look for another recipe for this because I have had better in the past.
Delish, easy and everyone loved it! Will definitely make again!
Delicious!!
Quick and easy. Delicious! We ate it before we realized pictures would be nice.
This was so easy and simple to make! Tasted fablouus!!!!
Very good, but it was very sweet. I made it to put on waffles. I did not have rum so I used about 1.5 tsp rum flavoring. Worked well for me!
Just right! Delicious and simple. Making sure the sugar is completely dissolved is very important for a great bananas foster.
