One bite of Caramelized Bananas with Coconut Rum Cream takes me straight back to the Caribbean Islands—the tropical sun, waves of the ocean clapping onto the the beaches, and a different pace of life. And in the dead of winter, on bitter cold, gray days, we need all the help we can get.
You’ll find this recipe similar to bananas foster, without all the flambéing. And it couldn’t be simpler.
You’ll only need a few basic ingredients, some really good coconut rum, and a couple of minutes to be transported back to lazy afternoons of flip flops and sandy toes. You can use regular unflavored rum, but the coconut rum is really what takes this over the edge.
Again, this is a quick recipe to whip up. And it’s seriously is worth every second of prep time. So grab some bananas and get cooking!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm, sunny, delicious recipe!
Ooh… This looks fabulous!
Bananas foster without all the flambéing? I’m totally there!
Yes, please! But don’t tell my hubby; he’s one of those strange non-coconut loving people.
This looks like heaven in a bowl…I am so into bananas at this moment, so this is perfect!
I’m drooling! Seriously it looks divine!

OMG Amy this looks and sounds amazing!! so where do you find coconut rum? in the alcohol aisle? or spices?……could I replace it with something?…….I want to make this, we are snowed in and I have everything BUT coconut rum! lol
Robyn, I wonder if there is another fruit that would work in this recipe? Maybe a peach or mango? Or would a pear be better? I think I’m going to have to try something else and let you know the result. My man is anaphylactically allergic to bananas, which is quite the bummer. I’ll see if I can recreate with another fruit, it looks that good.
OH YUM! Coconut Rum Cream? Just those three word together makes me drool . . .
