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
- Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Bananas:
- Leave the bananas unpeeled. Slice each banana lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve:
- Remove the foil-wrapped bananas from the grill. Allow them to cool for a minute before serving to avoid burning.
- 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.
