Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole peaches
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into thin wedges (about 6-8 slices per peach).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, cooking and stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth caramel sauce (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the peach slices to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the peaches are tender but not mushy.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet and gently tilt the pan or use a long lighter to ignite the sauce. Let the flames burn until they subside naturally, about 1-2 minutes. Be cautious and stand back while flambéing.
Once the flames are out, spoon the warm peaches and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream in serving bowls.
Garnish with chopped pecans, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
