Brazilian Coffee Cocktail with Caramelized Banana

Allergens

Dairy (Baileys contains dairy)

Ingredients

• 8 oz strong brewed coffee
• 4 oz Baileys Irish Cream
• 2 ripe bananas
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• Whipped cream, for garnish
• Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by caramelizing the bananas. In a non stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, slice the bananas and add them to the pan. Cook until the bananas are slightly softened and golden brown, then remove from heat. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the coffee and Baileys. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds, then strain into four glasses. Top each glass with a banana slice, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

Chef’s Insight

The perfect balance of coffee and Baileys creates a velvety texture that complements the caramelized bananas.

Notes

Adjust the level of caramelization on the bananas according to personal preference.
