When I was a child, my mom would make thin crêpes with
bananas flambés for dessert. It was my sister and I's favourite. It was always exciting to see my mom reach for bananas and the bottle
of rum after dinner; we knew we were in for a treat! (don’t worry – this dessert
is safe for children. All alcohol will
evaporate when cooked)
What I love about this dessert is that it can be assembled in approximately 10 minutes and takes very little preparation. It is also very versatile; the banana flambé
can be served with vanilla ice cream, crêpes, or on top of graham
crackers.
