Elevate your BBQ with grilled banana splits featuring caramelized banana, strawberries, and pineapples for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slightly underripe bananas, unpeeled
  • 12 large strawberries
  • 1/2 medium pineapple, peeled and cored
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 pint)
  • 4 scoops strawberry ice cream (about 1 pint)
  • 4 scoops chocolate ice cream (about 1 pint)
  • Optional toppings:
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons dry roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 12 maraschino cherries with stems
Instructions:
  • Preheat the grill by setting it to high heat at 450°F and ensure the grates are clean.
  • Prep the fruit: Keep the banana peel intact and slice them lengthwise, including the peel. Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise. Skewer the halved strawberries for easy handling. Cut the pineapple into 4-inch spears, 1 1/2 inches wide. Lightly brush oil on the cut sides of bananas and strawberries and all sides of the pineapple.
  • Prepare the grill: Oil a folded clean paper towel with oil using tongs and grease the hot grates. Place the fruit on the grill, with strawberries and bananas cut side down. Grill until grill marks appear, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove strawberries and bananas, then grill pineapple on all sides for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Allow the fruit to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the grilled bananas and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Dice the strawberries and pineapple.
  • Prepare the banana splits: Arrange the grilled bananas alongside the edges of the dishes. Place a portion of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream in each dish. Garnish the vanilla with diced grilled pineapple, the strawberry with grilled diced strawberries, and the chocolate with chocolate sauce. Finish with whipped cream, peanuts, and maraschino cherries, if preferred. For extra indulgence, drizzle more chocolate sauce on top. Serve promptly. Enjoy the dish?
