6 servings
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 firm bananas, cut in half lengthwise
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 cup hot fudge, warmed (see below)
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a 9" x 13" baking dish, combine the butter and brown sugar; mix well. Place the bananas in the butter mixture and brush to coat completely.
Place the bananas flat side down on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the edges begin to bubble; turn with a long-handled spatula, and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
Place 2 cooked banana slices in each of 6 serving dishes, top with scoops of ice cream, and drizzle with the hot fudge. Serve immediately.
FINISHING TOUCHES: You can heat the hot fudge in an aluminum container directly on the grill. If you’d like, top this with all your favorite banana split toppings, including chopped nuts, sprinkles, strawberry sauce, pineapple sauce, whipped cream, and cherries. Or, for a change of pace, replace the hot fudge with caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed peanut brittle.
