Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 medium banana
  2. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  3. 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  4. 1 fluid ounce brandy
  5. ¼ cup pineapple chunks, drained
  6. 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Cut banana in half, then cut each half in 4 slices lengthwise.
  2. Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook until melted and caramelized, about 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple chunks. Add banana slices and cook for 1 minute, flipping halfway through.
  3. Pour brandy all over bananas. Set on fire with a match or BBQ lighter. The brandy will burn quickly and while it burns, gently shake the pan to be sure all alcohol burns off.
  4. Put 2 slices of bananas each into 4 small bowls. Top with vanilla ice cream and a little bit of syrup from the frying pan. Serve immediately.
  5. Using pineapple is optional.
