Best 4 Grilled Bananas With Mexican Chocolate Sauce Recipes

GRILLED BANANAS WITH MEXICAN CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine one chopped 3.2-ounce disk Mexican chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat. Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Halve 4 firm ripe bananas lengthwise, then halve crosswise to form 4 pieces each. Toss the bananas with the sugar mixture. Grill the bananas flat-side down until browned and the sugar is caramelized, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with the chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with sweetened shredded coconut and serve with vanilla ice cream.

GRILLED BANANAS WITH RUM ICE CREAM AND MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

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.

• Place peeled bananas cut-side down in buttered sauté pan. Cook for 2 minutes;turn over and let cook 2 more minutes.
• Arrange two banana halves on each serving plate.
• Top each serving with two scoops of your favourite ice cream.
• Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon crumbled chocolate.

SO YUMMY GRILLED BANANAS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND CREMA MEXICANA

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.
