Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 0.25 cups Chocolate syrup
- 0.25 cups Caramel sauce
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., peanuts or walnuts)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 4 whole Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F). If using a gas grill, keep the lid closed while preheating.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Be careful to keep the halves intact.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar to create a sugary glaze.
Brush the cut sides of the bananas with the butter and brown sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
Place the bananas cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bananas develop grill marks and the sugar begins to caramelize.
Carefully flip the bananas and grill on the peel side for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow them to cool slightly.
To assemble each banana split, place two grilled banana halves on a plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle.
Drizzle each banana split with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce, then sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Top with whipped cream and garnish each dessert with a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Banana Splits!
