Here's everything you need for this luscious bananas foster milkshake. This recipe makes between four and six servings.

Ingredients to Gather

Bananas Foster:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Milkshake:
8 ounces Jamaican dark rum, such as Myers's
2 pints vanilla bean ice cream, slightly thawed
1 cup whipped cream
Pinch cinnamon
4 maraschino cherries, stem-on

Directions to Follow

Start by making the bananas foster. To do this, combine the butter and bananas in a medium-sized nonstick skillet, and then cook over high heat for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the bananas are caramelized. After this, stir in the brown sugar and the cinnamon, and then add the banana liqueur, pulling the pan away from the flame and stirring to combine all of the ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and salt and stir in, and then scrape out the mixture and set aside to cool.

Now make the milkshake. To do this, mix the rum, the cooled bananas foster and the ice cream together in a blender, and then blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. When the mixture is well-blended, pour it into glasses and top with whipped cream along with some cinnamon and a maraschino cherry. Serve with a long straw.
