The Goods:
1 banana
white sugar*
1 pint burnt sugar ice cream**
Peel the banana. Slice in half lengthwise, then slice each half once more, to make four pieces. Wrap aluminum foil around a plate and place the banana slices on the plate, flat side up. Dust the banana pieces with sugar and shake off the excess. Work the propane flame slowly over each banana piece until the sugar melts and browns. Serve each immediately with a scoop of ice cream.
*I've tried this with brown sugar and it turns black and starts to smoke before getting brown and melt-y.
**Christina's Ice Cream in Inman Square. Go there. Eat this ice cream.
