Grilled Bananas with Ice Cream and Hot Chocolate Sauce

Source: fox8cleveland

This dessert is easy to make on a cleaned rack after grilling a main course.

1/2 gallon favorite vanilla ice cream
4 firm, ripe bananas
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.

Prepare grill. Peel bananas and halve lengthwise. In a shallow baking pan large enough to hold bananas in one layer, stir together butter and brown sugar and add bananas, tossing gently to coat. Transfer bananas with a metal spatula to an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals and grill until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side. ( If bananas are difficult to handle you may grill them on one side only.)

Serve bananas like a banana split with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Makes 4 servings.
