I was fortunate enough to take my dear wife Celeste with me to Memphis in May. One of the things she did to fill up her day was grill banana samples to pass out to the hungry groups of people attending the festival. The process was simple, yet yielded great results. So with a little twist I’ve created the Bananas Celeste Ice Cream Sundae and dedicate it to my sweet wife Celeste who makes all my BBQ dreams come true…
Cut the ends off of each banana and split down the middle. Leave the skins on. This will make flipping the bananas on the grill a little easier. Put the bananas skin side down on a very hot, oiled grill. Sprinkle a good portion of sugar along with some cinnamon on the flesh of the banana. Cover and cook until the banana skin starts to blacken. Flip over and carmelize the sugar. Flip back over and remove from grill.
It should look something like this!
Toss a few scoops of vanilla ice cream in a bowl. Add the bananas. Drizzle with chocolate and caramel and top with some candied pecans for a great little summer desert.
Wow just wow
next time we’re only inviting Celeste.
