  1. 4 tablespoons butter
  2. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  6. 4 medium ripe bananas

  8. 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill pan or grill grate over medium heat.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Simmer until mixture thickens about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and set aside.
  3. Cut each banana lengthwise, leaving the skin on and brush with butter and brown sugar sauce. Oil the grill pan and arrange the bananas, cut side down, on the pan.

Baste frequently with the sauce during the cooking process.
  4. Remove from grill to a serving platter and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, drizzled with remaining sauce.

I made this as a surprise and everyone love it!! KUDOS …excellent quick and easy!

it was great even though I didn’t get the sauce right, but that’s my fault. I’m a good cook, but I’ve been having a huge problem making caramels lately. ugh..

but it was still awesome served with homemade whipped cream.

ps..the reviewer who gave only one star because of the banana peel comment, the bananas are easier to move from the grill to the plate without falling apart. I find it easier to eat them as well, as you just scoop out the banana. no mess. no fuss. pretty rude to give only one star for a question and not a review, btw.

and for the comment about her recipes/drink recipe, etc. Sandra herself, does not put these recipes up here, so not very nice of you to give her only one star for a complaint that had nothing to do with the recipe.

Funny how you said that when you misspelled “grammar.”….. You FAIL!

this was just a delightful dessert for my whole family, including my 1 yr. old daughter. I could not find pumpking spice, but added cinamon it was great. for those who question the skin it does make a difference it creates the banana to cook without burning it or overpowering the flavor of caramel. i love the way the icecream melts on the top and creates a rich mixture with the caramel. This is a great summer dessert.

Those who diss recipes for dumb reasons should at least use good grammer….

WOW!! This was great. My whole family loved this and kept asking for me to make more bannanas. I didnt have a grill but worked perfectly in a pan. I added 1 tlbs of rum to the sauce. I think this is my favorite recipe right now.I will make again and agian. Easy and fast recipe.

When I tried this recipe, it was amazing! I have read some of the review saying that they cannot find the cocktail recipe that was on the show. The cocktail is called Citrus Orchard Cooler. It is a must try!!

The peel is left on for presentation.

As for review number 2, the point of the review is for people to see how much you enjoyed the dessert. If you haven’t even tried it, why would you give it a low rating? Because you couldn’t find the cocktail recipe? That has nothing to do with the recipe for Grilled Bananas Foster, which by the way is fantastic…

I don’t get leaving the skin on when you serve the bananas, even if you leave the skin on while grilling them
