Grilled Banana Split

INGREDIENTS:
4 bananas, unpeeled
1 tablespoon honey
8 small scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup jarred chocolate fudge sauce or Chocolate Ganache, heated
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
Whipped cream (optional)
Maraschino cherries (optional)

METHOD:

Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.

Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Place bananas on a platter. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas. Let them sit for 5 minutes.

Place the bananas, cut-side down, on the center of a clean cooking grate over direct medium-low heat and cover. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of long-handled tongs, turn them over and cook 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the banana.

Let the bananas cool slightly, and then remove the skins. Arrange 2 banana halves on each serving plate or bowl. Top each serving with 2 scoops of ice cream. Ladle ¼ cup of hot fudge over each sundae. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
