For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the skillet along with the brown sugar. Ensure the rum is at room temperature for easier ignition. Be extremely cautious when lighting the rum. Keep a safe distance and ensure there are no flammable materials nearby. Serve immediately, as the ice cream will melt quickly.

May 27, 2025My bananas turned to mush. Maybe I sliced them too thin? Next time, I'll try thicker slices or add them later in the cooking process.
