Grilled Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream and Smoked Almonds image

Smoked almonds highlight the bananas' grilled flavors in this 5-ingredient dessert. While you can grill ripe bananas that have some black spots, they're easier to move around if they are completely yellow and slightly firm.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup turbinado sugar (Sugar in the Raw)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ripe but firm large bananas
Vegetable oil, for grilling
1 pint chocolate ice cream
1 ounce smoked almonds, roughly chopped (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the salt.
  • Slice off the ends of each banana and halve lengthwise, leaving the peel intact. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas with the sugar mixture and allow to absorb, 1 minute. Oil the grill grates, then grill the bananas cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer 2 banana halves to each of 4 plates or bowls, peeling if desired. Set a scoop of ice cream in the center, sprinkle with the smoked almonds and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be in your banana split.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is a key ingredient in a banana split, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a chocolate that is rich and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of toppings. The toppings are what really make a banana split special. Choose a variety of toppings that you enjoy, such as whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, and fruit.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no rules when it comes to making banana splits. Get creative and try different combinations of toppings. You may be surprised at what you like.
