Ingredients for Barbecued Banana Splits
- Banana
- Miniature Marshmallows
- Miniature Chocolate Chips
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
How to Make Barbecued Banana Splits
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Gently make a slit down the center of each unpeeled banana, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spread the banana open slightly to create a pocket.
- Stuff each banana with 1 tablespoon of mini marshmallows and 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Place bananas directly on the cooking grate of the preheated grill.
- Grill for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the banana skin is blackened and the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate is melted. The banana should be caramelized to a dark golden brown.
- Carefully remove the bananas from the grill using tongs and transfer them to a plate.
- Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream.
- Top with whipped cream and chopped nuts, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
