Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 pound pound cake or sponge cake
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Set them aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and combines with the butter, forming a thick caramel sauce (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the cinnamon and stir to incorporate. Carefully pour in the dark rum and ignite with a long match or lighter. Allow the flames to die down naturally, cooking off the alcohol and leaving a rich, flavorful caramel.
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are warmed through and coated with the caramel. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Cut the pound cake into cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a large trifle dish (or individual serving glasses), assemble the layers. Start with a layer of pound cake cubes, followed by a spoonful of the caramelized bananas, a sprinkle of fresh blueberries, and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with whipped cream and a few blueberries on top for garnish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful Bananas Foster Trifle with Blueberries!
