Tablespoon Butter; cut into cubes  
/2 Cup Brown sugar  
/2 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon  
Ripe bananas; peeled and cut lengthwise into halves  
/4 Cup Banana liqueur  
/2 Cup Myers Rum  
Quart Cream  
Egg yolks  
2 Tart shells of graham cracker crust; (3−inch)  
/4 Cup Caramel sauce  
Egg whites  
/4 Cup Sugar  
In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.  
Add the bananas and baste them with the syrup for 2 minutes. Pull the saute  
pan off the burner. Carefully add the banana liqueur and rum. Place the pan  
back on the stove and shake the pan a couple of times. The pan should flame,  
if not, ignite the pan with a match. Shake the pan back and forth until the  
flame dies, basting the bananas continuously. Remove from the heat and cool  
completely. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, add the banana  
mixture and puree until smooth. In another saucepan, add the cream. Bring  
the liquid to a gentle boil. Whisk the egg yolks together.  
Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly. In a  
steady stream, slowly add the egg mixture to the hot cream mixture. Continue  
to cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool  
completely. Whisk the banana mixture into the cream mixture. Mix thoroughly  
and cool completely. Add the banana/cream mixture to the electric ice cream  
machine. Process according to manufactures directions. Place a tablespoon of  
the caramel over each tart shell. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the ice cream  
over the caramel sauce, filling each tart shell completely. Place the tarts  
in the freezer until frozen, about 1 hour. In the bowl of an electric mixer,  
fitted with a wire whip, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the  
sugar and continue to beat to stiff peaks. Remove the tarts from the freezer  
and spread the meringue over ice cream. Place the tarts on a baking sheet  
and place in the oven. Bake until the meringue is golden brown, about 4 to 5  
minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
