Edit Note

In this light version the amounts of butter and sugar are decreased and the ice cream is replaced with nonfat frozen yogurt. But the flavor and the flames are as authentic as the original.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  butter
  • 1/4  cup  firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 4  bananas, quartered
  • 1/4  cup  banana liqueur
  • 1/4  cup  dark rum
  • 12  ounces  nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt

Preparation

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add brown sugar and next 3 ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until bananas are tender.

Pour rum over bananas, and ignite with a long match; cook until flames disappear. Serve immediately over frozen yogurt.
