Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Mix the soft butter, brown sugar and black molasses, then add the spiced rum and stir thoroughly.

2. 2

   Make a slit along the long side of each banana without cutting all the way through the skin, and place one teaspoon of the mixture into the slit.

3. 3

   Lay the bananas skin-side up on large sheets of foil, leaving enough space to wrap them tightly.

4. 4

   Wrap each banana tightly in foil, forming a sealed packet, and place them on the heated coals. Cook for 15 minutes, turning the packets once halfway through to ensure even caramelisation.

5. 5

   When the bananas are soft, sticky and golden‑caramelised, remove them, unwrap and serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream.
