Wrap a piece of aluminum foil three times around itself to form a strip 10 cm wide and long enough to fit around the mold of a 2-liter soufflé dish
Place it in the dish so that it's 5 cm above the edge
In a saucepan, mix together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water
Add the heavy cream gradually, stirring constantly until the mixture dissolves
Beat the egg yolks slightly
Add some of the gelatin mixture and mix well
Combine everything in the saucepan with the remaining gelatin
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly
Remove from heat and add lemon juice, rum, and lime zest
Let it cool to room temperature
Chill in the refrigerator, mixing occasionally until the mixture thickens further
Add mashed banana to the mixture and mix well
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form
Gradually add 1/2 cup of cold water and continue beating until stiff and glossy
Fold the whipped cream into the banana mixture, being careful not to deflate it
