Banana Foster Hurricane

This dessert recipe will feed a crowd. Butter and brown sugar are heated with whipping cream and liqueurs, then spooned over ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. butter
• 1 lb. brown sugar
• 3 lg. bunches of bananas
• Heavy cream--as needed
• 1 oz triple sec
• 1 oz Grand Marnier
• 1 oz Creme de Banana

Directions:

Take "hurricane" glasses and put a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom of each glass and put in the freezer. Melt butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, whisking it in to rid of all clumps. Add alcohol. Once combined add heavy cream, a little at a time, to get rid of the graininess of the sugar. Slice bananas to desired thickness, add to the pot, not cooking for more than a few minutes. Pour over frozen ice cream; serve immediately. Add a chocolate cigarillo or fresh mint leaf for decoration.

Number of Servings: 10-12

Notes from the Cook: The sauce could be made a few days ahead and saved, just add bananas once the sauce is reheated.
