Not your every-day rice pudding recipe here! The flavors of the classic ice cream dessert, Bananas Foster, have inspired this scrumptious rice pudding.

Bananas Foster Rice Pudding

2 medium bananas, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon light rum
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar

1/3 cup chopped pecans
3 cups cooked rice

1. In small bowl, combine bananas and rum.
2. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup cream and butter in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling (2 to 3 minutes), stirring constantly. Add pecans.

3. Beat remaining 1/2 cup cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining brown sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
