Today, we make things hot.
My brother-in-law and ex-Spago chef, Craig, made us a little treat for No-Bake Mondays. It's a cold winter day this side of the world and this should warm you up real nice (and if you're in somewhere tropical don't worry, it has ice cream). This rockstar dessert was made famous by New Orleans restaurant Brennan's some 50 years ago and now it's a flavor for ice cream, bread, cake, even coffee! Why it's so badass—bananas are flambeed with rum and served warm with vanilla ice cream. You're not afraid of a little fire, are you?
