1/2 cup dark corn syrup

6 bananas, cut into quarters
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 tablespoon lemon juice

6 slices prepared pound cake
Vanilla ice cream
Directions
- Press BROWN/SAUTÉ on express pressure cooker. Add butter; cook until melted. Add corn syrup, rum, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Add bananas and coconut. Secure lid. Press MANUAL PRESSURE, set pressure to LOW and time to 1 minute. Make sure Steam Release Valve is in the “Seal” (closed) position. Press START/STOP.
- Once cooking is complete, quick release pressure. Stir in lemon juice and lemon peel. To serve, arrange bananas on pound cake slices. Top with ice cream and warm sauce from cooking pot.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape during cooking while still providing natural sweetness.
- Adjust the rum to taste, or substitute with rum extract for a non-alcoholic version (use 1/2 teaspoon extract).
- Stir gently after adding the lemon juice and peel to avoid breaking the bananas.
- For a smoother sauce, ensure the butter is fully melted and well-combined with the corn syrup before adding the bananas.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Bananas Foster over slices of pound cake with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream to capture the warm, caramelized sauce. For added texture, sprinkle with extra toasted coconut or chopped pecans. Pair with a cup of coffee or a dessert wine like Moscato to complement the sweet, rich flavors. For a lighter option, serve the bananas and sauce over Greek yogurt instead of ice cream.
