Bananas Foster Recipe for CrepesHow many bananas does Brennan’s in New Orleans use every year for their trademark bananas foster recipe? 35,000 pounds! With this kind of demand, there’s not much we can recommend to improve this classic banana dessert. Oh, wait a minute. Somebody forgot the crepes! Now...it's perfect.
Melt butter over low heat in large skillet. Once melted, add brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir together. Once combined, add the banana liqueur and the bananas. Cook until bananas soften, about 2 minutes. Add the rum* and continue to cook the sauce and bananas for an additional minute. Remove pan from heat. Assemble crepes: Lay each crepe on the final serving plate. Divide the bananas into four equal portions, reserving 2-3 banana rounds each for the topping. Place one portion inside each crepe and roll up. Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to each portion and top with the reserved bananas and sauce. Serve immediately. *If you wish to flambé the bananas, remove the pan from heat after you add the rum and ignite. Once the flames die down, assemble the crepes. Yield: 4 servings (1 crepe each)
