Ingredients:
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise (or sliced)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Arteflame Grill: Heat your Arteflame grill, ensuring it's ready for a quick sear of the bananas and for caramelizing the sugar.
-
Prepare the Bananas: Place the banana halves on the flat cooktop part of the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas are marked and slightly softened. Remove and set aside. NOTE: make sure the Banana's are nice and ripe for a better flavor.
-
Make the Sauce: In a small cast-iron skillet or grill-safe pan, melt the butter over the grill. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, cooking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbling. Carefully add the dark rum. If safe and desired, flambé the rum to burn off the alcohol. Let the flames subside naturally, then add the grilled bananas back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. NOTE: To light the "flambé", pour some rum into the pan, then continue to pour just a bit into the fire to light it. WOW!
-
Serve: Once the bananas are warm and well-coated with the caramel sauce, remove from the grill. Serve immediately over scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzling extra sauce over the top.
