Method
Directions
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
Make the Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
Add Bananas
Carefully place the banana halves in the skillet, cut side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Flambé with Rum
Gently pour the dark rum over the bananas. Carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter or match, and allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off.
Serve
Spoon the banana mixture over the scoops of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
