How to Make Bananas Foster Crepes
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the maple syrup (or brown sugar syrup) and rum (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sliced bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized, stirring gently.
- Spread about 1/3 cup of prepared vanilla pudding onto each crepe.
- Top with 3 tablespoons of the warm banana mixture.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Carefully roll up each crepe.
- Arrange the crepes on a serving plate.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar.
- **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.
- **Variation 2:** Instead of the Bananas Foster mixture, top each crepe with vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt, or whipped cream.
- 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.
