When I think grilled desserts, my mind instantly hones in on hot sweets. Busting out barbecued ice cream dishes on the grill really advertises your grill master Kung Fu, though. Take this grilled banana split for example…
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 8 ripe bananas
- 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
- hot fudge or other ice cream topping sauce
- whipped cream
- chopped nuts
Servings: impressed dinner guests
Instructions
- Preheat your barbecue grill to 350 to 400 degrees F. and spray the grill heavily with PAM or another grilling spray.
- Combine the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved. With a sharp knife, cut each banana in half lengthwise, leaving the peel on the halves.
- Brush the cut side of the banana halves with the sugar mixture and place the bananas cut side down on the grill. Grill until golden brown and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Re-spray the grill with PAM and turn the banana halves, peel side down and brush the upper surface of each with more glaze. Grill the bananas 2-3 minutes longer or until tender.
- To serve, place two grilled banana halves in a sundae dish or shallow bowl. Top with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with your favorite dessert sauce, and top with whipped cream and chopped nuts.
