Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large bananas
- ¼ cup Myers Dark Rum*
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream , for serving
- chopped walnuts , optional for serving
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients and set them on the counter next to the stove where you will prepare the bananas foster. Also have a longer lighter withing reach, for the flambé. Tie hair back, and lift any loose sleeve up.
- Slice each banana once in half vertically, and once in half horizontally.
- Caramel Sauce: Add butter to a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once melted, stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook over medium high-heat, stirring constantly, just a few minutes until bubbly and slightly thickened to syrup consistency. Stir in vanilla.
- Add banana slices and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Flambé*: Tilt pan down slightly away from you and add the rum. Use a long lighter to immediately and carefully ignite a flame, to flambé the bananas foster. When the fire is going, carefully lift pan flat, a few inches above the stove burner and shake/swirl it gently back and forth, until the flames subside.
- Serve: Add one or two scoops of vanilla ice cream to the center of a bowl. Add one banana slice to each side to cradle the ice cream. Spoon caramel sauce on top. Top with chopped walnuts, if desired.

Notes
- Rum: You could also substitute bourbon, banana liqueur, or brandy. Add more if you like a boozier flavor.
- Alcohol Free: The flames cook off most of the alcohol, but if you need a substitute, add 1 ½ teaspoons rum extract, or more, to taste, at the same time as the vanilla. You won’t be able to flambé the sauce.Flambé: Make sure to have hair tied back, sleeves rolled up, and no other burners on, next to the pan.Bananas Foster French Toast: Stir in a splash of heavy cream to the sauce. Serve over French toast.
