How to Make Banana Flambe Over Ice Cream

  1. In a bowl, combine sliced bananas, brown sugar, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add granulated sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns a rich golden brown caramel.
  3. Carefully pour in the orange juice, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Add the marinated banana mixture to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Stir in lemon zest and cook for 1 minute.
  6. (Optional) Carefully add banana rum and immediately ignite with a long match or lighter. Allow the flames to die down.
  7. Cook for 1 minute on high heat, stirring occasionally.
  8. Serve immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  9. Top with whipped cream, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and an orange slice for garnish.
