In case you've just joined me,
0:05
today's show is a tribute to Louisiana cooking.
0:09
but now it's time to put the dessert together.
0:11
And in order to put this dessert together,
0:14
I'm gonna need some ice cream.
0:20
And I'm gonna use vanilla ice cream.
0:23
But today's dessert is really a hot dessert.
0:26
And this, this dish is famous in New Orleans,
0:31
and it's Bananas Foster.
0:33
I just love it and it's so simple to make, y'all.
0:36
We're gonna start our heat off fairly high,
0:39
and we're gonna melt a stick of butter.
0:43
Now, you know this a good recipe
0:44
if it's starting with a stick of butter.
0:47
And we're gonna let that melt.
0:49
While that's melting,
0:50
I'm gone cut that down just a little bit.
0:52
While that's melting,
0:53
I'm gonna get our bananas ready.
0:58
And I'm just gonna peel 'em,
1:08
I'm gonna add a 1/2 a cup of brown sugar.
1:12
I wanna pack that in there good.
1:15
And you can see that butter starting to cook.
1:19
Looks delicious already.
1:21
Now I'm just gonna slip up bananas in there.
1:27
And cook them until they're kind of soft.
1:31
Here, I think we can just do that.
1:34
And while those are cooking,
1:36
I'm gonna measure out a 1/2 a cup of dark rum.
1:46
That's what's gonna give it the fire and the flavor.
1:51
And you can see that that butter and brown sugar
1:53
is really starting to incorporate.
1:57
And I'm just gonna flip our bananas
2:02
Bananas is probably the fruit
2:05
that I love to eat the most.
2:07
But of course, naturally it's not nearly
2:10
as low calorie as an apple or something like that.
2:13
I mean, you might know my favorite fruit
2:15
would be one of the most fattening.
2:22
That is starting to look real good.
2:24
Now I'm gonna pour in that 1/2 a cup of rum.
2:28
And you never wanna pour the liquor directly
2:31
from the bottle into your pan.
2:33
Now we're gonna set it on fire.
2:41
And I'm gone kinda stand back for this one,
2:43
'cause y'all will want to make sure
2:46
that you're very careful
2:48
while you're fixing this dish.
2:51
Be careful of your eyelashes and your hair, girls,
2:53
'cause if you're like me and wear a lot of hairspray,
2:57
your whole head could go up in flames.
3:01
Look how pretty that is though.
3:05
Our flame is dissipated.
3:07
I can smell that rum in those bananas.
3:10
And now it's time for us to fix a plate
3:14
and see what our Bananas Foster tastes like.
3:18
Homemade pound cake would be fabulous with this,
3:21
but the store-bought cake works nicely too.
3:27
All right, my ice cream has gotten nice and soft.
3:31
You just can't go wrong with ice cream.
3:35
Look at that, just look at that.
3:48
I like lots of juice with mine.
4:05
This is so good, y'all.
4:07
And you don't have to be a rocket scientist
4:10
to put this dish together.
4:14
While I'm eating this, y'all,
4:16
go grab you a cup of coffee.
4:18
And when we come back,
4:20
I'm gonna give you some good Cajun gift ideas
4:23
that you won't wanna miss.
4:26
Make this tonight, y'all.
4:37
