Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Banana
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 2 Peaches
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 scoops per serving Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas diagonally into medium thickness slices. Rinse and hull the strawberries, leaving them whole or halved. Pit and slice the peaches into wedges.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and let it dissolve into a caramel-like sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced bananas, strawberries, and peaches to the skillet. Gently stir to coat the fruits in the caramel sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the fruits begin to soften but still hold their shape.
Pour in the fresh orange juice and vanilla extract. Stir gently and let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
If using, sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the fruit mixture for added warmth and aroma.
Carefully pour the dark rum into the skillet. Using a long lighter or matchstick, ignite the rum to flambé. Stand back as the flames rise, and let them burn off naturally (this should take about 30 seconds).
Once the flames subside, carefully stir the fruit mixture to ensure everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve the warm fruits over scoops of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
