Bananas Piper

Ingredients

6 sheets

Filo Dough

1/2 cup

Sugar

1/2 cup

Brown Sugar

1/2 cup

Ground Pecans

6

Bananas, split lengthwise and cut in half

1 oz

Dark Rum

1/2 oz.

Banana Liquor

9 oz.

Unsalted Butter

12-18 Scoops

Vanilla Gelato or ice cream of choice

 

Directions

Mix sugars together. Melt all but 2 Tbs. of the butter and brush a cookie sheet with melted butter. Lay open sheet of filo dough on the cookie sheet, brush with melted butter and sprinkle a light layer of the sugar mixture and a light sprinkle of the pecans. Add another layer of filo dough and repeat using all six sheets. NOTE: Be sure to push layers of dough down firmly onto the others with each addition. Cut filo into 3" squares and bake at 350º for 6-8 minutes. Dough should be evenly browned. Set aside to cool.

In a shallow baking pan, lay bananas cut side up. Evenly spread remaining sugar mixture on the cut surface of the bananas. Add the remaining butter to the bottom of the pan and place into oven at 450º until butter and sugar have completely melted. Remove from oven and place directly onto a preheated med-high burner. Once butter begins to bubble rapidly, carefully add the rum and liquor. CAUTION: Mixture might ignite as the alcohol cooks off.

Scoop 1 oz. of gelato (ice cream) onto one of the filo crisps and top with another filo crisp, then repeat to form three layers (may be prepared and frozen up to one day ahead). Divide bananas around each ice cream crisp; pour remaining liquid from pan on the bananas and ice cream. Garnish with fresh mint.
