Caribbean Bananas Flambé with Pineapple Curd over Frozen Yogurt


RECIPE

Make the curd and freeze scoops of frozen yogurt in advance; sauté bananas just before serving.


Yield
4 servings

Ingredients
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium ripe unpeeled bananas
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup dark rum
2 cups vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt
1/2 cup Pineapple Curd

Preparation
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl.

Peel bananas; cut each in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 4 pieces. Brush bananas with juice; dredge in brown sugar mixture.

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add bananas. Cook 2 minutes, turning bananas after 1 minute. Remove from heat; pour rum into one side of pan. Ignite rum with a long match; let flames die down.

Spoon 1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurt into each of 4 dessert dishes; top each with 4 banana pieces and 2 tablespoons Pineapple Curd. Serve immediately.
