Banana’s Foster Creme Brulee
Ripe bananas, cream, egg, crunchy toasted sugar and booze. Does any of this sound unfortunate? I’m hoping it doesn’t, because it is utterly delicious.
And really, if eggs, cream and booze bother you particularly, I think you made a bad left turn on the Internet Parkway and ended up at the wrong blog.
*Pushes glass of rum your way* But if you are here, just stick around and have a drink with me. What da ya say? Friends?
Fab.
So, moving on.
I’m begging you, just jump on this boozy bandwagon and throw caution to the wind. Skinny jeans need not apply.

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
Start with 1/4 cup of dark rum. Take a whiff, and imagine Orlando Bloom as a pirate. It’s a beautiful thing.

Pour it into a mix of 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (36% fat), 1/4 cup milk, and 1/3 cup baker’s sugar.
With an immersion blender, beat together all of the ingredients until smooth.

Add in two chunked riped bananas.
Blend again with immersion until the mixture is smooth.

Into four ramekins, evenly divide the banana/sugar/egg/cream/and(most importantly)booze mixture.
Place the ramekins into a 13×9 inch pan and fill half way with water.
Gingerly slide the whole rigamaroo into the oven and allow to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Remove from water, allow to cool and then place in fridge for at least two hours. When cool, sprinkle with baker’s sugar and place under a broiler until the sugar caramelizes. Serve immediately and imagine far away places with booze, bananas and washed up sword-fighting eye liner wearing pirates. Just sayin’.

That.is.gorgeous…oh my goodness it sounds too good!!!
One request. Can I imagine Mr. Depp in place of Mr. Bloom?
Let me know 🙂
Anything with rum is a winner in my book!!
WOWZA! This is my JAM!! I love that first crack when the spoon breaks the sugar!
I’m on board. I didn’t even need the glass of rum to be convinced, but it didn’t hurt.
YAY!
Say creme brulee and it’s basically calling my name! This looks lovely and I know the flavors are amazing!!!
OMG! You’ve combined my top 2 all time favorite desserts into one recipe!!!! I saw this on foodgawker and my mouth literally dropped…I definitely can’t wait to try this out, thanks for posting!
This pretty much rocks. Three cheers for coming up with this one!
Oh wow! This looks so good. I’m pretty sure this post just gave me cabin fever. It is 50 below in Fairbanks and I have never wanted to venture out in weather this cold to go to the grocery store. Creme Brulee is my biggest weakness. Guess I’ll just have to stay home and lick my computer screen.
Yum… This is the dessert of my dreams! Definitely going to surprise my husband with this on valentine’s day.
WOW! Seriously girl you’ve got some mad cooking skills! SO wish I could take a bite out of one of these right now!!!
Oh goodness. I didn’t think it was possible to make creme brulee even better, but it seems I was wrong… after all, everything is better when there’s booze in it, yes? I think this dessert just might make an appearance at my next dinner party. 🙂
I am willing to say good bye to my skinny jeans, if the dessert looks as delicious as this. Perhaps the next size bigger is still okay 😉
This is definitely the next treat I will be making! Thanks!
Wow this looks insanely good. Saw it on FG. Congrats!
I love bananas foster AND creme brulee. And rum 🙂
Oh my, that sounds (and looks) delicious!
Dear lord! No one else in the house likes bananas…would it be wrong if I ate them all myself?!
Looks absolutely amazing!
Ok, I am not a boozey kinda girl, but we need to still be friends!
You have a great sense of humor! 😀
These do look awesome, my hubby loves all things banana pudding-ish!
Creme Brûlée is my all time favorite dessert, and you just took it up a notch with the addition of rum and bananas. Oh boy, I’m def. trying this recipe. Thanks.

Worldwide, there is no sharp distinction between “bananas” and “plantains”. Especially in the Americas and Europe, “banana” usually refers to soft, sweet, dessert bananas, particularly those of the Cavendish group, which are the main exports from banana-growing countries. By contrast, Musa cultivars with firmer, starchier fruit are called “plantains”. In other regions, such as Southeast Asia, many more kinds of banana are grown and eaten, so the simple two-fold distinction is not useful and is not made in local languages.,

Made this last night and just did the caramelization…wowzers. Very creamy and satisfying. Thanks for sharing!
So glad they were a hit!! It’s one of my favorite recipes!
OMG this sounds and looks amazing. Â LOVE RUM!! and having just been on honeymoon and had the most amazing Banana creme brulee which im wanting to re-create… to add the rum too, yesssss!!! thank you thank thank you… One question, could I replace the milk and cream for coconut milk and cream? Would I need to change amounts/timings at all? Â
Made this today, it turned out fantastic – thanks for the idea.
Some thoughts:
– If you prefer a more crumbly texture to your custard, this procedure is spot on. If you want it to be as smooth as possible, combine the eggs, sugar, and bananas separately from the dairy, heat the dairy to a simmer, and then temper the eggs into it. Then run the mixture through a strainer to separate out any congealed egg and most importantly ANY AIR BUBBLES.
– Soak the banana slices for the top overnight beforehand in a mixture of rum and any spices you want to try (I used Cinnamon and Black pepper.)
Was an absolute hit, and I will certainly make it again!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Josh!! I will have to try and use your techniques.
