"Banana Brulé"

This Banana Brulé recipe had many components: the bruléed bananas, the caramel sauce, and the caramel design on top. Making caramel can be difficult and can easily go wrong if not watched carefully, however with careful attention to detail, caramel can be made easily. First, we made the caramel design by caramelizing sugar and then taking a spoon and drizzling it on a piece of parchment paper. This was one of the most fun things about this recipe. Then, we added cream to the rest of the caramel and refrigerated it until the next day.
On our second day of making this recipe, we bruléed the bananas by placing a mountain of sugar on top of the bananas and taking a blow torch and caramelizing the sugar. Then we put our caramel sauce in a squirt bottle and we were ready to begin putting everything together. As for plating the dish, the caramel sauce was drizzled on the bottom, the bananas were placed on top of the sauce, the traditional vanilla ice cream was scooped onto the dish and the caramel design was placed as the finishing touch on all of that. This made for a beautiful dish.
