Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and bubbling.

  2. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, gently stirring to coat them evenly with the caramel sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bananas soften and caramelize slightly.

  3. Remove the skillet from heat and pour the dark rum over the bananas. Return the skillet to heat carefully; the alcohol may ignite briefly. Optionally, light the rum with a long match or lighter to flambé. Allow flames to extinguish naturally.

  4. Return skillet to low heat and simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.

  5. Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls. Spoon the warm Bananas Foster mixture over the ice cream, drizzling sauce on top.

  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a fresh mint leaf. Serve immediately while warm.
