Banana Flambe Recipe

Flamb means flamed in french, and is an adjective used to describe food that is drizzled with some spirit, usually brandy, and set alight for a few moments. This procedure gives the food an exquisite flavour and texture. The banana flamb is a perfect dessert to serve a party of adults. The bananas are sweetened with brown sugar and covered with flaming brandy. While still warm, the flamb is topped with vanilla ice-cream and served immediately.
