Bananas Foster a decadent dessert off the grill

As a young man growing up in South Louisiana, I was introduced to one of the most decadent desserts ever created by human hands. It’s sweet, rich and flavorful, and is traditionally cooked on a stove top — Bananas Foster.

Not today! Grillax.com is going to create Bananas Foster off the grill — a FireDisc Cooker.

When we decided to give this tasty dessert a go on the FireDisc, we were admittedly skeptical. That quickly went away as soon as the half of stick of butter was tossed into the disc, and then the rest of the ingredients. The aroma of all the ingredients was outstanding, and though this is a quick dish to create, anyone in nose-shot of the FireDisc knew something great was going down.

History of the dessert

Created at Brennan’s restaurant in New Orleans to honor a local business man, Richard Foster, this rum-laden, buttery creation of seared bananas flambéed in a dark rum sauce has become a dessert classic all over the country.

Aiyeeee! It’s so good!

Happy Grilling!

Notes

It’s best to use a large cast-iron skillet with this recipe, however, if you have a disc cooker that will suffice for this decadent dessert.
