Ingredients for Bananas Foster Crepes

  • Maple Syrup
  • Dark Rum
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Prepared Vanilla Pudding
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Crepes

How to Make Bananas Foster Crepes

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the maple syrup (or brown sugar syrup) and rum (if using).
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the sliced bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized, stirring gently.
  4. Spread about 1/3 cup of prepared vanilla pudding onto each crepe.
  5. Top with 3 tablespoons of the warm banana mixture.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  7. Carefully roll up each crepe.
  8. Arrange the crepes on a serving plate.
  9. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
  10. **Variation 1:** Prepare instant banana pudding according to package directions. Spread a layer on each crepe, top with thinly sliced bananas, roll, and dust with powdered sugar.
  11. **Variation 2:** Instead of the Bananas Foster mixture, top each crepe with vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt, or whipped cream.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
