There is a popular lore that flambéing as a cooking technique was discovered in 1895 when a waiter in Monte Carlo accidentally set fire to a pan of crepes he was preparing for the royal family, and the flavour turned out to be marvelous! This story is disputed by culinary historians, but whatever be the origin, flambéing works magic on certain ingredients, especially fruits.
A flambé is basically a dish that is topped with flaming brandy. The residue left by the burning liquor imparts an exotic aroma and flavour to the dish. The Pineapple Brandy Flambé is one such exquisite creation, which tastes heavenly when served warm with a topping of vanilla ice-cream.
Flambé means flamed in French, and is an adjective used to describe food that is drizzled with some spirit, usually brandy, and set alight for a few moments. This procedure gives the food an exquisite flavour and texture.
The Banana Flambé is a perfect dessert to serve a party of adults. The bananas are sweetened with brown sugar and covered with flaming brandy.

Fresh strawberry sauce tastes best, but when the fruit is not in season you can use strawberry crush; however, omit the sugar in that case to avoid over-sweetness.
Here is a totally awesome Mint Ice-Cream, which is flavoured with fresh mint leaves and not synthetic syrups. This gives the ice-cream a pleasantly minty flavour, which is not overwhelmingly strong or too sweet.
The ice-cream itself is too good, thanks to the proper mix of milk, cream and milk powder, which give it a lusciously creamy consistency. Enjoy the Mint Ice-Cream garnished with a few sprigs of mint. You could also top it with a complementary ingredient like stewed strawberries or chocolate chips .
