Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise and crosswise
  • 2 fluid ounces rum
  • 1 fluid ounce banana liqueur
  • 2 pinches ground cinnamon
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 2 small sprigs of mint

Instructions

  • Heat butter and brown sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Place bananas, cut-side down, into the brown sugar mixture. Cook until just golden, about 30 seconds; flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.
  • With the heat off, pour rum and banana liqueur into the skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high or high; cook until alcohol ignites and flames, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully add cinnamon. When the flames die, remove from the heat.
  • Scoop vanilla ice cream into two bowls. Divide banana mixture between the bowls and garnish with mint sprigs.
