Fun summer dessert recipe - Grilled Banana Splits!

(Turns out, it’s SUPER RIDICULOUSLY HARD to photograph ice cream on smoking hot banana slices!)

That’s right y’all…bananas grilled, then split-ified and topp-ified. Well, technically they are split then grilled…but I thought Split Grilled Bananas wouldn’t sit right. So we have Grilled Banana Splits.

Here’s how it works.

  • Split the banana down the middle, lengthwise so that the open banana has flat sides.
  • Dip the bananas onto a plate of sugar.
  • Place on the grill, in their peels, for a few minutes.
  • Carefully transfer to bowl, top with ice cream and whatever toppings you like.
  • Race to eat it all before the ice cream melts!

We had a blast gobbling up these grilled banana splits! These are the perfect dessert for when you’ve got the grill going this summer!!!
