For crème brûlée, heat cream with the scraped seeds and pod of vanilla bean to just below a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and rum. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk vigorously until eggs are doubled in volume and hold a ribbon when the whisk is lifted. Remove from heat. Slowly pour cream into egg mixture, whisking constantly until all cream has been added. Return cream to pot, and with a wooden spoon, stir over medium-low heat until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. Pour brûlée filling over chocolate sauce in baking pan. Bake in a bain-marie for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
To serve, slice bananas lengthwise and place on top of custard mixture. Sprinkle with rum. Sprinkle with sugar and torch with a blowtorch or broil for one minute, with the oven door cracked open. Serve immediately.
