1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
1/4 cup dark rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambe' pan or skillet. Place the pan over
low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the
sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur, then 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 top the pan slightly to ignite the rum, or ignite with a long
match. 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.
