I don't think that the original chef made this recipe before posting it. I knew through reading through it, that it was a Mock-Banana Foster ice cream, so I thought that with the buttermilk instead of Half & Half or whipping cream, it was supposed to be a low-cal ice cream. Thankfully, I made two separate batches of bananas: 1st, exactly per the recipe. No matter HOW LOW the heat in a non-stick skillet, the bananas turned to mush and never caramlized. I then tried some in a cast iron skillet and they burnt. So, knowing how to make Banana Foster, I added all the ingredients to turn this recipe around, and then had total success. I am not listing the ingredients because after all this work, I'm posting my version of a tested and working recipe for other's to enjoy. A beginner cook with little experience would have had a costly experience with this recipe.

I became a foodie when I went on my first ever diet. (:
I can't cook very well, because I'm always too afraid of hot oil burning me, but I love baking!
Hence you'd notice that all my recipes (and all the recipes I've saved into my cookbook) involve baking.
I hope to be able to make fantastic baked rice someday, and am always on the lookout for HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE recipes! (:
Oh, and if you know of any low-calorie indian recipes (I love Indian food, but it seems like they're all very oily and unhealthy..) do share them with me!
