Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup rum
- 1½ cups French vanilla ice cream
Instructions
-
Begin by melting the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Allow the butter to fully melt and become slightly frothy.
-
Slice the bananas lengthwise and place them flat side down into the pan. Sauté the bananas for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly cooked and slightly caramelized.
-
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the pan, stirring to combine with the melted butter. Pour in the rum and continue to cook, allowing the mixture to bubble and thicken into a syrupy consistency, which should take about 5 more minutes.
-
If you choose to flambé the dish, carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off. If you prefer not to flambé, simply cook the mixture for an additional 2 minutes, or until the alcohol has completely evaporated.
-
Serve the warm banana mixture over bowls or plates of French vanilla ice cream. The hot, sweet bananas paired with the cold, creamy ice cream create a delicious contrast that’s sure to impress.
