BBQ Grilled banana with ice cream

Grilled Banana Ice Cream Delight

Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas
• 1 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• Aluminum foil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:
   • Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Bananas:
   • Leave the bananas unpeeled. Slice each banana lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
3. Stuff with Ice Cream and Chocolate:
   • Scoop vanilla ice cream into the pocket of each banana. Sprinkle chocolate chips (and chopped nuts, if using) over the ice cream.
4. Wrap in Foil:
   • Place each stuffed banana on a piece of aluminium foil. Wrap them securely to create a packet, ensuring no fillings escape during grilling.
5. Grill the Bananas:
   • Carefully place the foil-wrapped bananas on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 5-7 minutes, until the bananas are softened and the fillings are melted.
6. Check for Doneness:
   • After 5-7 minutes, carefully unwrap one banana to check if the ice cream is melty and the chocolate is gooey. If needed, rewrap and grill for a few more minutes.
7. Serve:
   • Remove the foil-wrapped bananas from the grill. Allow them to cool for a minute before serving to avoid burning.
8. Enjoy!
   • Serve your grilled banana ice cream delights immediately. For added indulgence, top with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Notes

• Experiment with different ice cream flavours and toppings to create your own unique grilled banana ice cream delights.
• Be cautious when handling the hot foil packets, as they will be very hot straight from the grill.
