Hi guys, it's your girl Rashida and I'm here with another episode of MisGridis Kitchen. Today I'm going to be making bananas foster. Like bananas foster is so good, it's delicious. It's actually pretty easy, which some people don't know. So I'm going to show you guys how to cook it today, so let's get right into it. So the first thing that you're going to need is a stick of butter, some brown sugar, some heavy cream, three or two bananas, some rum. And some pure vanilla extract. Those are the three different things that you need. So first I'm going to start doing is I'm going to put my butter in the pan and let it melt. So we're going to leave that alone and just let that melt. If you want to help it out a little bit, you can, and you can just stir it around, turn it heat up a little bit, and just let that stick of butter melt. And then if you want to make more for like a larger part of people, then add a couple of extra sticks. But it really all has to do with the amount of butter that you use. You can figure out how much brown sugar, how much heavy cream, and how much bananas you need for your bananas foster. So that's melting. So while that's melting, I'm going to just peel my bananas in the meantime. So for me, I'm using right bananas right now. But if you don't have right bananas, you can use any type of bananas. So I don't say like, I won't be in the foster, but I need to wait for my bananas to get right. No, you can use any type of bananas, whatever's to your liking. So. And then these bananas, you can really cut them any way you want. I'm going to kind of cut them on a bias. Like so, just like that. But some people, they'll cut it the long way. They'll make them smaller. There's really no wrong way to do it. It really just depends on your preference. So after you make it the first time, if you want to try it a different way, or if you want to look a different way for decoration, you can do it that way as well. But it will be good either way. So my butter is almost finished melting. Just going to start it around a little bit and help it out. And it also helps if you leave your butter out at room temperature for maybe like 15 minutes. So that it's already at room temperature. So when you add it to the heat, it's not cold and trying to melt because it will take even longer. Okay, so now you see that my butter is almost melted and it's actually melted now. So this is how you want the butter to look when it is melted. And I'm using unsalted butter by the way. The butter that I'm using is unsalted. So now I'm going to add my brown sugar. So just add it in just like that. Don't be scared. Just add it in. And then you're going to take your whisk. Take your whisk and you're going to actually just whisk it all in together. And what you want to do is just get rid of any lumps. That's what I'm trying to do right now. I'm just trying to mix it up and get rid of any lumps that I see. So now you see how the sugar and the milk is the butter. Sorry, it's kind of separating. So now here's the part where you want to add your heavy cream. So the heavy cream as well, I will leave that out for like maybe like five to a minute so it's not cold. So now I'm going to add some heavy cream. So now I'm just going to whisk the butter, the brown sugar and the heavy cream together. So do you see what's happening? Do you see how everything is like coming together? You're going to keep whisking, keep whisking. And make sure everything is really like coming together. It looks so good. So right now I'm basically making a caramel sauce. I'm going to add a little bit more cream. Mix that all in together. Let that simmer. Right? So now I'm going to add in a drop, literally like a drop or so, a pure vanilla extract. Right? Just like that. And that's just going to help put a little bit of vanilla flavor in. And now all you have to do is add in your bananas. Look how simple that was. So there's actually two variations of this recipe. You can either add rum or you can opt not to add rum. So me, I'm going to add some rum because I love the combination with alcohol sometimes and dessert. So I'm just going to add a little bit of that. So now that I've added my rum, the bananas are all in here. And I'm just going to let them simmer. I'm actually going to grab a rubber spatula. And I'm just going to stir everything in. And I'm using a nonstick pan because it is a caramel sugar sauce. Depending on the pan that you're using, it's going to be a little bit harder for you to get it off when it's time to do those dishes. So I recommend using a nonstick pan. But if you don't have one, just use whatever you have. It'll be fine either way. So I want you guys to take a look at this. And right now, you'll see that the bananas are all coated. And I'm going to turn the heat up a little bit. And they're kind of like breaking down. Which is why I like to use right banana sometimes. But even if you use regular bananas, they're all combined. And then the flavor of the banana actually gets into the sauce. And when you bite into the sauce, well, sorry, when you bite, when you eat the sauce, you'll taste the banana flavor. It's really good. Okay. It's so good. So really just let it simmer for like five minutes. So this right here is going to be a finished product. You're going to see it's basically a caramel sauce, a vanilla caramel sauce. And it has bananas in it. And the bananas are really just almost translucent. And they're really all, it's all come together. Everything's come together. It's so good. So banana pasta, you can have it in a crepe. I like to have it over ice cream. So for me, I have some ice cream in here. One of my favorite ice creams is one, rum raisin ice cream. I love rum raisin ice cream. So I'm basically just taking and spoon it over your ice cream. But you can have a vanilla ice cream. I think vanilla ice cream or rum raisin would be like the two ideal. But you can try other things as well. I'm going to take some of that delicious caramel sauce and jude with that over the ice cream as well. And it's so good because it's like warm and cold together. So here you have it. This is how you make banana foster. I love this recipe. It's really, really simple. It's not too sweet. You can have it with ice cream. You can have it with a crepe. You can have it with pancakes or muffin, whatever. So try it at home. And I want you guys to comment and I want you guys to tell me what you think about this recipe. And tell me how you use it at home. What did you like about it? Because it's really, really fun and it's really simple. So, ooh, and it's rum. It won't get you drunk, but it does add a nice kick. Enjoy.
