Bananas Flambé in dark Rum and Kahluah

This is an easy flambé dish to create, great with vanilla ice cream.

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 ripe bananas slice in 1/2
2 oz Kahluah
2 oz Dark Rum

This is a simple fruit syrup in sugar combination.  

In a cool pan on medium-high heat add the butter and sugar and Kahluah.

This should start to boil after about 2 to 3 minutes over high heat.

Let boil for about 1 minute - until you see large bubbles of sugar - this is the sugar "caramelizing"; or assuming a new, harder shape since it is being bound with the butter.

Tilt your pan backwards and heat the front of your pan.

Add 2 oz of Dark Rum to the heated front of the pan and move over open flame until you see the flame.  Move the flaming alcohol among the bananas while it's burning; best done in a darkened room.

Serve with vanilla ice cream; could garnish with chocolate sprinkles/whipped cream.
