Surprise your guests with this unusual yet simple fried banana dessert. Ripe, but firm (not overripe) bananas are fried in a caramel sauce with natural vanilla, orange liqueur, and zest until golden brown. Rum is then added to the sauce and ignited. Be extremely careful when working with fire and alcohol, and keep a lid handy for quick extinguishing. The bananas are then drizzled with the flaming sauce in a serving bowl and garnished with whipped cream and glazed orange zest.

- Add the rum to the pan and return to medium heat. Heat for a few seconds without stirring, then carefully tilt the pan to ignite the rum (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match to the rum). Spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas. Garnish with whipped cream and glazed orange zest.
- Remove the pan from the heat before adding the rum. Use extreme caution when igniting alcohol.Pour the alcohol into the pan and carefully light it with a match or lighter. Return the pan to the heat and stir gently to reduce the flame.
