Caramelize the Bananas: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar. Add sliced bananas and cook until golden and caramelized.
Flambé (Optional): If you’re using rum, carefully pour it into the skillet and ignite it with a lighter to flambé. This step is optional but adds a lovely depth of flavor.
Combine: Pour the caramelized bananas over the chilled banana pudding.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
Once the pudding is fully chilled, you’re ready to assemble the dessert. You can serve it family-style in a large dish or in individual ramekins. Spoon the banana pudding into your serving dish, then layer the bananas foster topping over the pudding.
Recipe Notes and Tips
Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the better the flavor and texture.
Rum Substitution: If you prefer a non-alcoholic dessert, simply use a splash of vanilla extract in place of the rum.
Make Ahead: The pudding can be made a day in advance, making this a great option for entertaining.
Serving Suggestions: Top with whipped cream or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
