Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup banana liqueur
- 4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- Vanilla or cinnamon ice cream
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet.
Place the pan over low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Add the banana liqueur and stir to combine. Place the bananas in the pan.
When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum.
Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum.
When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream.
Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
DO NOT POUR THE RUM INTO THE PAN FROM THE BOTTLE. ALWAYS POUR IT IN FROM A MEASURING CUP SO THE FLAMES DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH TO THE BOTTLE.
