Prep: 15 min., Cook: 10 min.

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4  tablespoons  butter
  • 1/4  cup  firmly packed DOMINO Light or Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/4  cup  FLORIDA'S NATURAL Brand Premium Orange Juice
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  grated lime rind
  • 1/2  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 4  unpeeled bananas with green tips
  • 4  tablespoons  tequila
  • 2  pt. coconut ice cream

Preparation

Melt butter with next 5 ingredients in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until blended. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Peel bananas, and cut in half lengthwise. Add bananas, and cook 1 minute.

Remove skillet from heat; stir in tequila, and carefully ignite the fumes just above mixture with a long match or long multipurpose lighter. Let flames die down.

Return skillet to heat, and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until bananas are soft and liquid is caramelized, spooning sauce over bananas. Serve bananas and sauce immediately over coconut ice cream.
