4. Carefully add hot milk to caramelized sugar in a slow, steady stream (mixture will bubble vigorously), stirring until sugar dissolves.
5. Add bananas. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
6. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
7. Place half of milk mixture, ice cream, rum, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg in a blender.
8. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender.
9. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth.
10. Pour into a large pitcher. Repeat procedure with remaining milk mixture. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or up to overnight. Top with whipped topping and grated nutmeg, if desired.
