Ingredients

Directions

Combine the peanuts and honey in a small bowl and season with salt, to taste. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, sugar and cinnamon, stirring to combine until the sugar melts, about 3 minutes. Add the bananas and saute until a thick caramel coats the bananas and they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Divide the ice cream evenly among serving bowls, spoon honey nuts over the ice cream and top with a light sprinkle of sea salt. Add the rum to the pan with the bananas and carefully ignite with a torch lighter, match, or by gently tipping the pan into the burner flame. Shake the pan until the flames subside. Spoon the bananas over ice cream and peanuts and serve.

    I used this recipe as a base..but with alterations. I skipped the peanuts as that part did not appeal to me , or my guests. The carmel ~ rum sauce is indeed very easy, and impressive , if done table-side with a chafing dish, or, (as in my case, done in the center of a large kitchen island.

    I initially made the recipe as written, but the bananas, though very firm, still ended up too mushy--almost like a soup. So-- I froze the banana slices, and wow! They ended up even a bit crispy. Great texture, given that I skipped the peanuts. I also did this with pinealle, as several guests don't like bananas. I'm wondering if pears or peaches would work in different seasons.

    I also put this dessert atop a slice of pound cake, (home-made, but surely Sara Lee would work as well.

    Delicious, and I am now asked to bring the dessert when invited to a dinner party!
