Steps:
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar. Stir together and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the cream and stir it around to combine.
- Peel the bananas and slice them on the bias inside the peel. Drop the slices into the pan. Next, add the chopped nuts and stir them into the sauce. Then - and this is where you need to be a little careful - stir in the rum. Let it start to bubble, and then carefully use a long lighter to ignite it. (Be sure to have a lid handy in case you need to extinguish the flame.) Let the fire burn and go out (it'll only take about 30 seconds or so), and then stir in the cinnamon at the end. You may also cook the mixture without flambeing it.
- Spoon it over a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately.
- Spoon bananas Foster over French toast, waffles or crepes. Substitute peaches, pears or cherries for the bananas. Of course, then it probably wouldn't be considered bananas Foster.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to prevent the bananas from burning. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but be sure to keep the heat on low.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the bananas will not cook evenly. Cook the bananas in batches if necessary.
- Be careful not to burn the bananas. Bananas burn easily, so be sure to keep a close eye on them while they are cooking. If the bananas start to turn brown, remove them from the skillet immediately.
- Serve Bananas Foster immediately. Bananas Foster is best served immediately after it is made. The bananas will start to soften and lose their flavor if they are allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Bananas Foster is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, caramelized bananas and creamy vanilla ice cream, Bananas Foster is the perfect way to end a special meal. Whether you are making Bananas Foster for a special occasion or just for a weeknight treat, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that your dessert is perfect. With a little practice, you will be able to make Bananas Foster like a pro!
