No-Campfire Banana Splits
in
This one is great for family gatherings with kids and adults alike. Not everyone will want the same toppings, so you can set up a toppings bar where people can dress their own banana and put it to grill.

Ingredients
4 large bananas
1 tub of vanilla ice cream
assorted toppings: chopped chocolate, shredded coconut, pecan pieces, mini chocolate chips, fresh sliced fruit, peanut butter, etc.
Preparation
- Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 325 F).
- Slice the banana lengthwise, just enough to hold the toppings. Be careful not to cut all the way through or it will leak!
- Stuff in as many toppings as you want (or can fit), then carefully wrap the banana in aluminum foil so there are no holes.
- Place on the grill and cook for six to eight minutes until the banana has softened.
- Unwrap the foil (use it as your plate for less mess!) and serve hot with a spoonful of ice cream.
