How to Make Caramelized Bananas With Rum Sauce And Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 4 sliced bananas to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar over the bananas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts and caramelizes, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove the skillet from the heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of dark rum (preferably from Puerto Rico) over the bananas.
  5. **Carefully** ignite the rum with a long match or lighter. Allow the flames to die out completely before proceeding.
  6. Divide 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream among 4 serving dishes.
  7. Spoon the caramelized bananas over the ice cream and serve immediately.
