A great ending to a lovely summer barbecue! Adapted from Country Living magazine. The original recipe called for brandy, but I have subbed vanilla.

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe banana, splits
  • 8 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla (or try coconut extract, rum extract, or lemon extract!Or use brandy)
  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 8 teaspoons chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecan (or your choice of nuts) (optional)

    • Directions

    1. 1
      Heat the grill to low. Make and incision lengthwise on the side of each banana, leaving 1 inch uncut at both ends and the skin intact. Spread open the cut and place 2 teaspoons of butter pieces, 1 tbs. brown sugar, and 1 teaspoons vanilla inside.
    2. 2
      Grill, covered, until the butter mixture has melted and bananas are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Move the bananas to 4 separate sundae dishes, carefully flipping the bananas over and pouring the sauce into the bottom of each dish.
    3. 3
      Peel off the skins, and top each with an equal amount of ice cream; add warm chocolate sauce, and nuts, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    In reviewing the recipe again, I realized that it doesn't say to wrap them in foil which is what I did and as a result had the wonderful caramelized sauce to pour over the banana. I used green tipped bananas and topped each off with a couple of scoops of Bev's Classic French Vanilla Ice Cream Bev's Classic French Vanilla Ice Cream before drizzling with a gourmet chocolate caramel topping. Each was garnished with a cherry for an attractive adult banana split.
