Quattro Cover

Banana Raspberry Sundae. Serves 6

Bananas
6 bananas
3 cups medium-dry white wine
1 cup granulated sugar
Almond Brittle
3 Tbsp butter
1 cup almonds, sliced, blanched
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier 
Topping
Vanilla or banana ice cream
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
2 Tbsp icing sugar	

Instructions

  • Slice the bananas on an angle.
  • Combine the white wine with the 1 cup sugar in a saucepan, bring it to a boil and immediately add the bananas. Poach the bananas for about 4 minutes. They’ll soften, but will maintain their shape.
  • For the almond brittle, in a separate pan, melt the butter and sauté the almonds for about 3 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is golden brown. Add the Grand Marnier and quickly flambe.
  • Pour the almond mixture onto a baking tray and let it cool. Once it has cooled, rumble it into small pieces.
  • To serve, place a scoop of the ice cream at the centre of a dessert plate. Surround the ice cream with a ring of the raspberries then surround the raspberries with a ring of the poached bananas. Sprinkle the crumbled almond brittle and icing sugar overtop.
