Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup banana liqueur
  • 4 bananas, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then halved
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

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 and 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 tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place 4 pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon the warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.

    Best recipe ever. Even cutting the recipe in half or by a forth the recipe is still awesome. Best served over Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream top with home made whipped cream. I use 151 for the flame.
