We’ve given bananas foster, an American classic, a big flavor update. Honey sweetens while adding floral nuances and miso balances with a delicious savoriness. We use spiced rum as a one-ingredient way to infuse the buttery sauce with flavor and aroma. An optional dusting of Chinese five-spice powder lends intriguing spiciness that complements the rum.

Ingredients
  • 3

    tablespoons salted butter, cut into 3 pieces

  • 3

    tablespoons honey

  • 1

    tablespoon white miso

  • 2

    bananas, peeled, halved lengthwise then crosswise

  • ½

    cup spiced rum

  • Vanilla ice cream, to serve

  • Optional garnish: Chinese five-spice powder

In a Dutch over over medium, melt the butter. Stir in the honey and miso. Add the bananas and cook, stirring carefully so as not to bruise the bananas, until the sauce is slightly darker in color, about 2 minutes. Off heat, pour in the rum. Return to medium and cook, stirring carefully, until the alcohol no longer smells raw, about 2 minutes. Divide the bananas and sauce among 4 serving bowls, then top with ice cream.
