Instructions
-
1Mise en place: 4 ripe but still firm bananas (overripe will turn mushy). Peel and halve lengthwise. Prepare all ingredients: 3.5 oz (100g) cannabis butter, 5.3 oz (150g) brown sugar, 2 fl oz (60ml) banana liqueur (Crème de Banane), 2 fl oz (60ml) dark rum (at least 40% ABV). Caution: Bananas Foster is a flambé dish — keep flammable alcohol nearby, manage stove carefully.
-
2Build the caramel: Melt cannabis butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved and lightly bubbling. Add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and banana liqueur. Simmer sauce 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
3Caramelize the bananas: Lay banana halves flat in the caramel sauce. Cook 1–2 minutes per side — bananas take on color and soften, but should hold their shape. Shake the pan instead of stirring to keep the caramel layer intact.
-
4Flambé (the spectacle): Pour rum directly into the hot skillet. Warm for 20 seconds. Then: hold a long lighter or match to the pan's edge — rum ignites. Swirl the pan until flames subside (30–60 seconds). Alcohol burns off, flavors remain.
-
5Serve: Arrange immediately over vanilla ice cream — the temperature contrast between hot sauce and cold ice is the experience. New Orleans style: top with walnuts or pecans. The cannabis is already activated through the butter and evenly distributed throughout the sauce. Onset: 45–75 minutes.
Pro Tips
- Incorporate cannabis butter evenly. Adjust dosage — better to start with less.
