To Make Bananas Foster Gelato :
In
a small bowl, beat the egg yolks, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon for 4 minutes;
set aside.
In
a small heavy saucepan, heat milk and cream until bubbles form around sides of
pan. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into the egg mixture. Return all to
the pan, whisking constantly.
Cook
and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the
back of a spoon. Quickly transfer to a large bowl; place in ice water and stir
for 2 minutes. Stir in the rum and vanilla. Mash bananas with lemon juice; stir
into the rum mixture.
Press
waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or
overnight.

manufacturer’s directions. When ice cream is frozen, transfer to a freezer
container; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.
If
desired, top with sliced bananas and caramel topping.
