We’re all busy. So, the daunting task of preparing an entire dinner party could be overwhelming. Make it easy on yourself by hosting a flamed dessert party. Flamed desserts are some of the easiest desserts to create and are the most fun to make. Even a simple fruit compote over ice cream makes a dramatic impression. It is a misconception that flamed desserts are difficult. Baked Alaska, Cherries Jubilee and Peach Melba are classics but one of my favorites is Bananas Foster. So, make a colorful splash to your next gathering of friends with a grand dessert presentation of fruit, flame and fun. © Kelly McBride Loft
Bananas Foster
In a skillet, melt 1/4 stick of butter and 2 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar. Add a touch of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Add a dash of brandy to the sauce. Then, away from the skillet pour the brandy into a spoon. Ignite the spoon full of brandy and pour that onto the mixture to ignite. Stir. Add a dash of Banana Liqueur. Sauté the linear sliced bananas until tender. © Kelly McBride Loft
