A warm and slightly-boozy frozen dessert you will love: Bananas Foster Ice Cream to celebrate another safe and cozy winter indoors. Made with our fresh ripe bananas, an indulgent homemade Foster Sauce, fresh ground cinnamon and 'baby' splashes of good dark rum. I loved being able to create this recipe using simple, everyday ingredients— truly delicious! More after the jump... #ohbaby 🍌🍨

Ingredients (Serves 2):
2 large ripe (and firm) bananas
--------------------------------------------------------------
To make the Foster Sauce:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (or 1 cup light brown sugar, packed)
1 teaspoon fresh ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon fine iodized sea salt
3 tablespoons good dark rum
--------------------------------------------------------------
To make the Frozen Shake (from the above):
1 1/2 large (peeled & sliced) frozen bananas
1 cup half-and-half (very cold)
1/3 cup Foster Sauce (chilled)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
pinch of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon good dark rum
*remaining banana slices (for garnish), if desired
Directions:
Prep the ripe bananas overnight: peel and slice horizontally 1 1/2 bananas into 1/2" rounds. Freeze the banana slices overnight in a sandwich bag. Wrap the remaining half banana in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Also make the Foster Sauce overnight: To a medium saucepan on medium heat, add the heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, butter, and sea salt and blend all well. Bring to a bubble, lower the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the rum 1 tablespoon at a time. Let cool to room temp, and chill overnight in the refrigerator (to thicken up also).
Make the frozen shake: 30 minutes prior to blending, place freezer-safe serving glasses in the freezer. To a high-powered blender, add the frozen banana slices, half-and-half, Foster Sauce, vanilla extract, cinnamon and rum, and blend until smooth and thick (ice cream texture) - about 8 - 10 seconds.
Pour immediately into chilled glasses, top with extra Foster Sauce and the remaining chilled banana slices (if desired).
Enjoy! ~xx
