Flaming Bananas (Platanos Flameados)

4 large scoop rich vanilla or coffee ice cream
10 ripe finger bananas or 4 regular size bananas
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup piloncillo or brown sugar
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
1/4 cup golden rum

Place 1 scoop ice cream in each of 4 dessert dishes; put into freezer.

Just before serving, peel bananas; cut lengthwise into halves. If using regular bananas, cut each half crosswise into thirds. Melt butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in piloncillo; add orange juice and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Add bananas to sauce; cook, turning gently, just to heat through and coat with sauce, about 1 minute. Gently stir in liqueur. Remove from heat.

Heat rum in small saucepan over low heat just until barely warm to touch, about 30 seconds; do not allow to bubble. Pour rum over hot banana mixture; immediately ignite with long match. Stir with long-handled spoon until flames subside.

Place warm bananas around ice cream; spoon sauce over top.

Serve immediately.
