Bananas Foster Crème Brûlée
- FOR THE CUSTARD:
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 5 whole Egg Yolks
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 3 whole Bananas, Sliced
- 3 Tablespoons Hazelnut Liqueur (or Rum), Optional
- 6 teaspoons Sugar
- For the custard:
- Preheat oven to 275u0b0F. Combine the cream, sugar, vanilla and egg yolks in a bowl.
- Place ramekins into a deep pan (I used a roasting pan) so you can create a water bath. Pour cream mixture into 6 ramekins. Fill the roasting pan with warm water to cover the ramekins about halfway up the sides with water.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes or until cream jiggles only a tiny bit. Allow to cool and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight.
- For the topping:
- In a skillet, melt together the butter and brown sugar. Add bananas and turn the heat up to high.
- Add the hazelnut liqueur. Shake the pan a little bit then flip each banana. Once the liqueur has reduced (and nearly completely evaporated), turn off the heat.
- Arrange bananas over custard. Sprinkle with a teaspoon or so of white sugar. Using a kitchen torch, burn the top of the bananas so you get a good caramelized crust.
- Serve immediately.
