1
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds. You should have 12 banana pieces total.
2
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
3
Add Sugar and Cinnamon
Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter until fully combined and the sugar starts to dissolve.
4
Cook the Bananas
Carefully add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they are tender and coated in the sauce.
5
Flambé with Rum
Remove the skillet from the heat, then carefully add the dark rum. Return the skillet to the heat and ignite the rum with a long lighter, allowing the flames to burn off the alcohol (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
6
Serve
Once the flames have died down, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the bananas foster immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
