Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup of dark rum (for flambéing)
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Optional: edible gold flakes for added brilliance
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Arrange the sliced strawberries and bananas gracefully on a serving platter to resemble the flames of the Phoenix.
- In a heatproof skillet, combine sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fragrant.
- Add the dark rum to the skillet. Warm the rum slightly if desired for better flambé results.
- Light the rum with a long match or flaming torch. Allow the flames to dance for around 30 seconds to a minute, then extinguish or let burn out naturally.
- Pour the flambéed rum over the prepared fruits, creating a fiery visual effect.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and optional edible gold flakes for a superhero sparkle.
- Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a complete superhero dessert experience.
Notes
- Best enjoyed immediately to preserve the fiery presentation and fresh flavors.
- Leftovers of the fruit mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; reheat gently before serving.
