When the mixture is simmering, add the banana pieces cut side down and let them sit, undisturbed, for a minute before spooning the sauce over; cook for 2 minutes.
Carefully flip them over and add orange zest; cook for another 2 minutes.

Serve it immediately with a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour the delicious sauce over.
