Method
Directions
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. Set aside.
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add Sugar and Cinnamon
Stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined and the sugar dissolves.
Cook the Bananas
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, gently turning them to coat in the sauce.
Flambé
Carefully add the Caribbean rum to the skillet, then ignite it using a long lighter or match. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Serve
Spoon the flambéed bananas over the vanilla bean ice cream in a serving bowl. Ensure to drizzle some of the buttery sauce over the top.
