A delightful twist on the classic Bananas Foster, this recipe enhances the flavors with a touch of nutmeg and a splash of orange liqueur.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown too much; it should just melt and bubble.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and orange zest to the skillet, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Place the banana halves in the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
Use a gentle touch to avoid breaking the bananas.
Cook the bananas for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden and slightly softened.
Flip the bananas carefully to maintain their shape.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the orange liqueur. Ignite the liqueur carefully to flambé.
Ensure safety by keeping a lid nearby to extinguish the flame if needed.
Serve the bananas and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Serve immediately for the best experience.
