Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 50 grams dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, or prepare a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together until well combined.
Brush the banana halves lightly with melted butter on all sides and sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Place the bananas cut side down on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until grill marks appear.
Flip the bananas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until softened and lightly caramelized.
Remove the bananas from the grill and place on serving plates. While still warm, sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the bananas to let it melt slightly.
Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with crushed nuts if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, gooey dessert!
