Your slow cooker is your straight and narrow path to a delicious dinner full of flavor, but did you know you can make a ton of desserts in this simple, versatile appliance? Welcome dessert to the "set it and forget it" world with this sumptuous bananas foster recipe.
This classic recipe originated in New Orleans and continues to be popular decades later. We like to serve this as a no-brainer dessert when entertaining. Purchase high-quality ice cream to ladle the golden bananas and sauce over, and take all the credit! Add the banana slices just 10 to 15 minutes before serving so they do not become too soft. This is equally delicious served over pound cake or angel food cake.
