Barbequed Bananas
This is a dessert that you make partly on the barbeque grill, which is interesting, as there are very few dessert recipes that involve actually using the barbeque. This is also a fun recipe for kids to make (with adult supervision) and can provide an opportunity to introduce them to barbeque safety.
Ingredients
- 4 Bananas
- 2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 Crunchie chocolate bars
Instructions
- Wash hands with soap and water. Ensure worksurface is clean.
- Crumble up the Crunchie bars, set aside.
- Wash bananas under cold running water.
- With a knife, make a small split in the banana skin along the top length of each banana from end to end.
- Place the bananas onto the heated grill of a barbeque. Turn them regularly until the skin has blackened.
- Remove from barbeque. Peel the skin (carefully -- it will be hot) off the bananas to expose the bananas. You can serve the banana sitting on the charred skin for an exotic look, or, simply discard the skin.
- Place each banana on its own plate, and top with a scoop or two of ice cream, and then sprinkle with the crushed chocolate bar.
Notes
Allow 1/2 bar per banana, and 1 banana per person being served. Adjust quantities as necessary.
The chocolate bar will be crushed and used as a topping — how many bars you need depends on how many bananas you are barbequing. One bar will do 2 bananas.
Cadbury Crunchie bars are great for this, but use whatever else you might fancy.
Feel free to use a different flavour of ice cream.
