BROILED PEACHES à LA MODE



Broiled Peaches à La Mode image

I've never appreciated pies the way I know a lot of other folks do. I love chocolate so much that I always feel if I'm going to eat something fattening, I want it to be super-decadent-and pies, to me, are not. If I'm going to eat something that tastes like fruit, I figure I might as well just eat fruit and save the additional calories to later get my chocolate fix. Then I started cooking fruit more, and it totally changed my view. Granted, I make fruit much cleaner (as in healthier) than putting it in pies, but there's something really satisfying about a baked peach or a roasted grapefruit that just doesn't come across in uncooked fruit. This makes a hearty amount, so it's perfect for when you're craving something sweet, and lots of it. If you want just a little something, I'd recommend sharing it with a buddy.

Yield makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Butter-flavored cooking spray
2 firm medium peaches
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
4 pinches ground cinnamon
1 cup fat-free churned vanilla ice cream, divided (I used Breyer's Double Churn)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line a small baking sheet with foil. Lightly mist the foil with spray.
  • Cut each peach in half, crossing over the stem. Remove the pit. (If the peach is ripe, this should be easy to do with your fingers. If you have trouble, use a spoon to gently dig it out, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh.) Place the peach halves, side by side, cut sides up, in the pan, and sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Broil on high for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the sugar begins to bubble and caramelize (brown lightly).
  • Divide the peaches between 2 dessert bowls and top each with 1/2 cup ice cream. Serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup part-skim ricotta
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 ripe, firm bananas, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heat source. Mix ricotta and nutmeg in a small bowl. Mix sugars, salt, and vanilla in a small bowl. Cut bananas diagonally 1/4 inch thick, keeping slices in order as you cut. Discard tips.
  • Spread 1/4 cup ricotta mixture in each of four 5-inch-wide by 1-inch-deep baking dishes. Fan 1 banana around edge of each dish, creating a circle. Gently press bananas into ricotta mixture. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bananas with water, then sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons sugar mixture. Pat sugar into an even layer on top of bananas to prevent the sugar from clumping and burning.
  • Broil until sugar has caramelized and bananas have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips for Broiled Bananas A La Mode:

  • Selecting the right bananas: Choose firm, ripe bananas with yellow skin and no bruises. This ensures a balanced sweetness and texture.
  • Slitting the bananas: Use a sharp knife to make a lengthwise slit in the banana's skin. This allows the butter, sugar, and spices to penetrate and caramelize during broiling.
  • Choosing your toppings: Experiment with different toppings to complement the broiled bananas. Popular options include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. You can also add nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips for a more decadent dessert.
  • Broiling the bananas: Preheat your broiler and place the bananas on a baking sheet or in a shallow dish. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the bananas are caramelized and slightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Serving the bananas: Broiled bananas are best served immediately while they are still warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème anglaise for a classic dessert. You can also serve them with yogurt, granola, or fresh berries for a healthier option.

Conclusion:

Broiled bananas a la mode is a simple yet elegant dessert that combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the richness of butter, sugar, and spices. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own, served with ice cream or whipped cream, or incorporated into other desserts like cakes, pies, and parfaits.
