Remove from the heat, stir in the cinnamon, lemon juice, and rum. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the salt and cream of tartar, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Roughly 3-5 minutes.

With a rubber spatula, fold half of the egg whites into the banana mixture. Then fold in the remaining egg whites and mix well.
