I often wondered how to make a Flambéed Bananas Dessert. Here's a recipe on how its done.

Flambéed Banana Dessert Ingredients:
Serves :Two.( Increase the portions for more servings.)
===
1/2 a stick of butter.
2 bananas, sliced in rounds.
1/2 a cup of brown sugar.
Juice from a 1/2 lemon.
1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
1/2 a cup of dark rum.
Vanilla ice cream.
=====
Directions:  Heat the butter in a pan over a low flame stove.  Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture is thick and bubbly, and then add the bananas.
To flambé, increase the flame burner to high.  Remove the pan off the burner. Add the Rum and tilt the pan back into the flames. Be careful, the pan will briefly catch on fire, while burning off the alcohol. This will create a dramatic effect and add flavor of the rum, without the alcohol.

Reduce the flame.  Return the pan to the burner.   Next, get a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream and set it aside. Remove the pan from the burner and spoon in the bananas into a bowl of ice cream. Top it with whipped cream. Serve.
