Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 whole Bananas
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Peel the bananas, then slice them in half lengthwise and cut each half into two pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the bananas occasionally to coat them evenly.
Carefully pour the dark rum over the banana mixture. If you wish, you can flambé the mixture by igniting the rum with a long lighter or match. Allow the flames to subside naturally or cook until the alcohol burns off, about 1 minute.
Stir in the vanilla extract and gently mix to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the bananas and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream in individual bowls.
Enjoy immediately while warm!
