For an extra layer of flavor, try using spiced rum instead of dark rum. Be extremely cautious when igniting the rum. Ensure there are no flammable objects nearby and have a lid ready to smother the flames if necessary. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm bananas and the cold ice cream.
