Directions

Combine the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a skillet over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Watch the heat and stir almost constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.

Add the banana liqueur.

Add the bananas and cook until they soften and start to brown.

Next, add the rum and tip the pan slightly so the flames ignite the rum. (This is known as flambéing).

After the flames subside, place four pieces of banana over vanilla ice cream and spoon some of the sauce over them.
