Bananas Foster With a Tropical Twist | Platanos Foster Recipe | Pastries with Paola

The secret to this bananas foster recipe? Plantains! This recipe for Platanos Foster results in super-soft plantains that have been perfectly caramelized and flambéed for that warm, sugary-sweet taste that makes this dish one of the best. Serve with scoops of rum-raisin ice cream (or your flavor of choice) and an extra drizzle of syrup, as prepared with brown sugar, warming spices, and coconut water plus the flavors of rum and banana liquor. This dessert may be a New Orleans staple, but this recipe is one of a kind thanks to its tropical, Caribbean twist.
