By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups light brown sugar
• 8 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 ⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 stick cinnamon, broken in half
• 6 underripe bananas, halved lengthwise, and then halved crosswise
• 3 ⁄4 cup dark rum
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Heat sugar, butter, salt, and cinnamon in a 12" skillet over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves in butter. Add bananas, and cook, stirring gently, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add rum, and using a match or lighter, ignite to flambe, and cook until flame dies out. To serve, spoon bananas and sauce over scoops of ice cream in bowls.
