Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rum
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups Icelandic Provisions Krimi Skyr
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 ripe bananas, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rum, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 cups of Icelandic Provisions Krimi Skyr.
- Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer smaller pieces, you can cut them into smaller segments, but keeping them halved will allow for a more elegant presentation.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to foam and bubble slightly, which will indicate that it is hot enough.
- Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar to the skillet. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture becomes a smooth caramel-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the teaspoon of cinnamon into the butter and sugar mixture, stirring well to combine the flavors.
- Carefully add the sliced bananas to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to soften and caramelize.
- Gently flip the bananas using a spatula to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. The bananas should become tender and coated in the caramel sauce.
- After the bananas are cooked, carefully pour in the rum. Allow it to simmer for about 1 minute. If you want to flambé, use a long lighter or match to ignite the rum (be cautious and ensure there are no flammable items nearby). Let the flames subside as the alcohol burns off.
- Once the rum has been added and the flames have extinguished, remove the skillet from heat. The sauce should be thick and syrupy, with the bananas beautifully coated.
- To serve, place a generous scoop of Icelandic Provisions Krimi Skyr in each serving bowl. Top with the warm banana foster mixture, ensuring each bowl gets a good amount of the caramel sauce.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or some chopped nuts if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bananas Foster with Icelandic Provisions Krimi Skyr!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe bananas with just a few brown spots for the best caramelization and sweetness.
- Use a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
- When adding rum, be extremely careful if attempting to flambé - keep a fire extinguisher nearby and tie back long hair.
- For an extra flavor boost, try using dark rum instead of light rum.
- Serve immediately while the bananas are warm and the skyr is cool for a temperature contrast.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute rum with vanilla extract or apple juice.
- For a presentation wow-factor, serve in clear glass bowls to showcase the beautiful layers of skyr and caramelized bananas.
