Slow-Cooker Chocolate Bananas Foster - Let the Celebrations Continue!

by on ‎12-24-2014 12:16 PM

Hello, foodies…


How was your holiday? Are you still celebrating? I hope so! I had a wonderful Christmas with my family in North Carolina and today I’m headed down South for a little fun in the sun. My fellow hosts will be filling in for me on In the Kitchen with David while I'm on vacation, starting with my friend Carolyn Gracie this Sunday.


Carolyn will be presenting our next-to-last Sweet Treat for the month of December…Slow-Cooker Chocolate Bananas Foster, which is as easy and decadent as it sounds.

Slow-Cooker Chocolate Bananas Foster
Serves 6–8


This recipe is prepared with the Ninja 4-in-1 6-Quart Multi-Cooker with Recipe Book & Travel Bag (K41333).


Go to David's Recipe Item Page for the full list of items that David has used in his recipes.


Ingredients:



  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp rum extract or 1/4 cup white rum

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 6 bananas

  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving


Preparation:



  1. Place the butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, rum extract or rum, lemon juice, and cinnamon into a slow cooker. Stir the ingredients together.

  2. Peel the bananas, slice them widthwise into 1" discs, and place the pieces in a medium-size bowl with the cornstarch. Carefully toss the bananas until they're coated with the corn starch and spoon them into the slow cooker. Carefully fold them into the butter/sugar mixture well coated. Set the slow cooker on high and cook for 1 hour.

  3. After the cooking time ends, remove the lid and stir the bananas, being careful not to break them up. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and walnuts over top. Place the lid back on and let it sit for 5 more minutes, or until the chocolate chips are melted. Serve over ice cream.  


Mary QVC will be keeping an eye on my Facebook page while I’m out of town but I promise to check in when I can. And I promise to write a quick blog for you on Monday and Friday, as usual. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, everyone. I hope you can join Carolyn and Mary on Sunday at Noon ET.


Keep it flavorful!
