Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 firm-ripe bananas
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
For rum ice cream:
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, halve lengthwise
a 2-by 1/2-inch piece lemon zest, removed with a vegetable peeler
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup good-quality dark rum such as Bacardi Black
For Mexican hot chocolate sauce:
1/4 pound (about 1 1/2 tablets) Mexican chocolate* such as Ibarra, chopped
1 cup half-and-half
available at some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • Peel bananas and halve lengthwise. In a shallow baking pan large enough to hold bananas in one layer stir together butter and brown sugar and add bananas, tossing gently to coat. Transfer bananas with a metal spatula to an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals and grill until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side. (If bananas are difficult to handle you may grill them on 1 side only.)
  • Serve bananas like a banana split with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
  • To make rum ice cream:
  • In a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan combine cream and milk. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream mixture, dropping in bean. Add zest and bring mixture just to boil.
  • In a large metal bowl whisk together brown sugar and yolks until combined well. Add hot cream mixture to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking, and return custard to pan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and coats back of a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes. (Do not let custard boil or it will curdle.)
  • Pour custard through a very fine sieve into cleaned metal bowl and cool slightly. Stir in rum and chill, covered, until cold. Freeze custard in an ice-cream maker. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
  • To make Mexican hot chocolate sauce:
  • In a heavy saucepan heat chocolate and half-and-half over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is melted. (The sauce will have a very thin consistency, like that of hot chocolate.) Serve sauce warm. Makes about 1 cup.

SO YUMMY GRILLED BANANAS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND CREMA MEXICANA



So Yummy Grilled Bananas With Caramel Sauce and Crema Mexicana image

I found this in the LA Times Food Section years ago, and adapted it for a crowd. We make these when we go camping and we're sick of S'mores. We just bring a bunch of bananas and the components we prepared ahead of time and make them until we can't eat any more. Don't be tempted to use store bought caramel; home made sauce really makes a diference, and it's quick and easy to make. IMPORTANT: When you go to the store, you DO NOT want the Crema Agria - that's like sour cream. Crema Mexicana is like Creme Fraiche and tastes sweet, like heavy whipping cream.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bananas, that are nice and yellow,no spots,but not green either
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon (more if you like)
1 (15 ounce) jar Mexican crema
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup warmed heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make caramel:.
  • Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat, then add brown sugar and whipping cream
  • Simmer over medium heat and stir occasionally (about 8 minutes).
  • Sauce is ready when it is golden brown; it will thicken as it cools.
  • Cool completely, then pour into a container (I use one of those squeeze bottles to take with our camping stuff).
  • It's OK to keep at room temp, but I would put in fridge if you want to keep longer than a couple of days.
  • Prepare bananas:.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon.
  • Slice each banana in half lengthwise.
  • Roll each banana half in cinnamon sugar, until completely coated.
  • Grill coated bananas over hot coals (ideally, you will grill them after dinner, when the coals are nicely glowing; we don't want a raging fire here).
  • Grill bananas until the sugar begins to carmelize, but be careful; don't let them burn.
  • To serve, put two banana halves on a plate, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with a dollop of crema Mexicana.
