This is a rich dessert treat from Martinique. Use ripe but very firm bananas (the original recipe calls for the bananas to be sauteed in butter first, then bake, but I think they become too mushy ... but try it if you think you'd like it). Ingredients:
3 ripe but firm bananas, peeled cut in two,then in half again,lengthwise |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons whipping cream |
1 tablespoon dark rum |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, whipping cream, rum and cinnamon in a bowl and beat on high speed.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
3. Place half of the bananas in a lightly greased baking dish.
4. Top bananas in half of the cream cheese mixture, then top that with the rest of the bananas.
5. Top bananas with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
6. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon.
7. (Yes, spreading the cream cheese mixture on the bananas is a little difficult, but it's worth it!) Bake at 325 degrees F, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until cream cheese is hot and a little bubbly.
