A Tasty Baked Banana Dessert From Colin Cowie Made Right on the BBQ. FASHIONTRIBES SWEET TOOTH RECIPE BLOG

Definitely a childhood favorite. After a barbeque, when the fire is beginning to cool, is the best time to make this dessert. The fire caramelizes the butter, sugar, and rum and slowly a decadent dessert is born. I usually put them on the grill while we are enjoying the dinner. If a BBQ is not handy, you can bake them in the oven. Serve with a big dollop of crème fraiche or vanilla ice cream or both!!! via ColinCowie.com

INGREDIENTS:

• 10 large firm bananas
• 1/4 pound unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup crème fraiche
• 2 tablespoons dark rum

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. With a sharp knife, slit the peel open on each banana. Carefully remove peel, reserving it.
2. Roll the bananas in the melted butter and then in the brown sugar. Return each banana to its peel.
3. Using lengths of kitchen string that have been soaked in water, tie each banana. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, blend the crème fraiche with the rum. Set aside.
5. Grill the bananas over low coals, turning frequently, for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
6. Remove the strings and peels from the bananas and serve them on individual dessert plates with some of the crème fraiche on the side.

SERVES 10.
