Homemade Banana Sundaes Feat. My Mom

bananas and ice cream go together like pancakes and syrup eggs and bacon you get the point but today we need to decide between two of the best and back by popular demand to do that is my mom we're back [Music] okay so but like I said bananas and ice cream it's just one of those weird combinations that go so perfectly together my mom's favorite banana fudge sundae that's always been what she's gotten and then for me I'm in-between either a banana fudge sundae or Bananas Foster and I thought you know what we need to do why do just one when we can do both go head-to-head and decide which is the best before anybody complaints I know there is an echo okay you don't need to remind me it's here it's there we're gonna correct it so in the meantime just just just take a little body your ice cream food you just let's do it on this show we usually say let's do this shall we okay so first let's start with my mom's favorite which we'll begin by making our ultra thick fudge sauce not to do that in a medium-sized saucepan you're gonna combine 2 cups or 500 grams of heavy cream a quarter cup or 56 grams of salted butter 1/2 a cup of 115 grams of granulated sugar 3/4 of a cup or 150 grams of dark brown sugar give that some whiskey business then just bring that to a light simmer over medium heat simmer that for about a minute no boiling please then whisk in 3 ounces or 85 grams of very finely chopped chocolate keep whisking until it's completely melted and dissolved that's kind of redundant huh then remove it from the heat and add one cup or 110 grams of Dutch process cocoa make sure that those Dutch people will really process the cocoa then return them to a very low simmer over low heat until thick and glossy which will take about 30 seconds then again removed from the heat whisk in 2 teaspoons or 9 grams of vanilla extract and voila you've got a nice salted butter fudge sauce now if it's clumpy at all you can always just strain it through a fine mesh strainer and you'll get a nice smooth sauce but either way it's gonna be tasty don't you worry now before we put this together if you're gonna add nuts please roast them from fresh it's very simple here we have some hazelnuts which we put on a baking sheet and roasted at around 375 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes we're until nice and golden brown cool them and crush them to your liking from here assembly is super basic you'll obviously need vanilla ice cream and bananas for both of these recipes but I suggest making your own vanilla ice cream you can use my ice cream base and just replace the coffee with some vanilla beans the link is in the description for that if you want to go that route - anyway you're gonna get nice long boys serving bold type things start by scooping some beautifully perfectly round lump of ice cream followed by a banana that has been beautifully sliced in half lengthwise please on either side then some of your chuckle yum-yum the sighs sorry about that some of your nuts and finally some nice little quenelle shaped dollops of whipped cream a lot of folks like to use Martian on cherries on this but obviously we have to class it up and use some looks our dough cherries instead now that is a proper fudge sundae now let's go in on this hoe my mom first a little bit of extra fudge sauce little bit you know did a lot a lot a little bit become do you want some fudge so banana fudge sundae it's a classic combination although my mom said she doesn't like nuts and I put them on here anyway you want to go for it because I'm the baby so I just looking good this is a level up this is not the same as the favor this is not like we're going to Baskin and Robbins by the way but better coming soon you got Luxardo cherries all right this is cocktail chemistry Ultra works if you're getting your sundaes without extra fudge we're wrong with a little oh no just what it was a classy 25 cents food cost wise get out of here that's looks our dough chariot right Wow it's a cover of Shido cherry but like with actual class just like this sundae so Bananas Foster is actually surprisingly easy as well you know first start by taking a widow stick of cinnamon and charring it lightly like so you can also use a gas flame or a blowtorch or you can also just not chart and I won't be mad at you isn't it now on a 12-inch skillet tossed in a quarter cup or 56 grams of unsalted butter 1/2 a cup plus 1 tablespoon or 117 grams of dark brown sugar half a teaspoon or 1 gram of fine sea salt and your cinnamon stick he fed over medium heat stirring occasionally until melted and homogeneous and it begins to lightly bubble then don't forget to switch the spot you're filming in because you want to show off the new stove not a flex but I am very excited to finally have gas after years of electric now from here you want to try to avoid stirring too much otherwise you risk sugar crystals forming which you know is an ideal now while that's bubbling add three whole bananas which have been halved wise and then halved in their center so you get these little funny-looking shapes place them in your pants spaced evenly apart let that simmer undisturbed for about three minutes over medium heat then flip once and once only and repeat for an additional two to three minutes or until the bananas are lightly browned on both sides again don't flip multiple times or else they're gonna get really yucky then increase our heat slightly and add in 1/3 a cup or 70 grams of a nice high proof good quality rum it should simmer immediately now from there you're gonna very very carefully ignite the steam that is rising for the pan you can use a match you can use a lighter or a blowtorch then it will erupt in a beautiful flambe flame now maintain that heat continue to simmer and flambe until the flame dies out ideally try and baste it with the camel make sure Wald's flambe now listen please be careful when doing this is perfectly safe to do when done properly Papa wants you to be healthy and easy anyway once the flame goes out you should have beautifully flambéed bananas now all you got to do is get yourself a nice scoop of ice cream layer on your bananas and some of that lovely rum sauce and get ready to get sent to rum banana pajama town [Music] all right that's the size that's gonna go em hmm Bananas Foster this is the ultimate classic and if you do it right do me a favor don't burn down your house you got the smell of caramelized sugar brown butter rum a little melty oh my god I was gonna do like a which is better kind of thing but they're so good in their own way that rum really it comes through it does it gives it a wonderful flavor I like it do you think that there's one better than the other I think everything in cooking has to do with personal preference my opinion I genuinely think that that the the fudge sundae works better this is rich and it's delicious but the fudge sundae is so balanced whether you're a Bananas Foster lover or chocolate fudge sundae lover all banana ice cream desserts are our friends I kiss you and I live Thank You sway let me choose but do you want to know what else is full of banana pajamas [Music] alright guys and that is it so we made Bananas Foster we made but just like you've laughing why are you better Frank the hill in frame got dammit the banana fudge sundae was the clear winner in this one I actually didn't expect that to happen because I really feel like rum caramel bananas it's like what that's another whole combination I guess it really comes down to personal preference but for me right now while it's hot fudge sundae just satisfies in a very very special way and so I understand why that's your favorite thing I think I think we did a good job so mom thank you for joining us again today everyone who loves you so anyway if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like subscribe and I will see you next [Music] you [Music]
