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.
