Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top, add the cinnamon, then pour in the banana liqueur and rum. Flame to burn off the alcohol. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the butter and sugar turn into a sauce, then stir in the pecans.
Spoon the bananas and the sauce all over the brioche and top with the cream and a scoop of ice cream.
