Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Dessert, American Southern

When I finally got to taste this dish in it’s city and restaurant of origin, I was absolutely delighted. Banana foster indulges all the senses, and for a banana lover it is an extremely easy but sophisticated dessert that is guaranteed to please.

Ingredients

2 bananas (not overly ripe)

2/3 light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3 tablespoons rum (or whiskey)

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Note: This is not the flambé version so no worries about flames licking you in the face!

Step  1

Melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and mix until it has dissolved. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and rum.

Step 2

Add the bananas and baste, cooking and pouring over each side for about 2 minutes on medium low heat.

Enjoy hot with vanilla ice cream, serves 2!

Tip: Do not overcook, this will prevent the bananas breaking down and the rum/whiskey sauce caramelizing hardening.
