Julia Child Bananas Foster

This easy Julia Child Bananas Foster is a rich and indulgent dessert with caramelized bananas, warm spices, and a touch of rum. Served over creamy vanilla ice cream, it’s a simple yet impressive treat.

Ingredients Needed

• ¼ cup  butter
• ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
• 3½ tbsp rum
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise and crosswise
• ¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 pint  vanilla ice cream

How To Make Bananas Foster

1. Melt the butter: In a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
2. Make the sauce: Stir in brown sugar, rum, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a low boil.
3. Add bananas and walnuts: Cook for 1–2 minutes until bananas soften.
4. Serve immediately: Spoon over vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Flambé for a classic touch: Carefully ignite the rum to create an authentic Bananas Foster experience.
• Choose firm bananas: Soft bananas will turn mushy too quickly.
• Use a nonstick pan: This prevents the sugar from burning or sticking.
• Swap the nuts: Pecans or almonds work well if you don’t have walnuts.
• Go alcohol-free: Use apple juice instead of rum for a family-friendly version.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftover Bananas Foster  in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
