Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar and Cinnamon

    Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, cooking until the mixture is bubbly and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bananas

    Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, gently stirring them to coat with the sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bananas are tender.

  5. 5

    Flambé with Rum

    Carefully add the Caribbean rum to the skillet. If desired, ignite the rum with a long lighter to flambé, allowing the flames to subside naturally.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the bananas and sauce over vanilla ice cream in serving bowls.
