Ingredients
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup liqueur (Kahlua, or other coffee flavored liquor)
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into tablespoons, 1 1/2 sticks)
- 6 bananas (ripe, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Vanilla ice cream
How to Make
-
Step 1: Build a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill and let burn until the coals are covered with white ash. Let the fire burn down to medium-hot (you should be able to hold your hand at grate level for 3 seconds). In a gas grill, preheat to Medium.
-
Step 2: Tear off six 12-inch squares of aluminum foil. Fold one foil square in half. On the bottom half, place 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Kahlua, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 banana. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. Fold the foil over to form a packet, crimping the open edges to seal.
-
Step 3: Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
-
Step 4: The packets can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead and kept at room temperature.
-
Step 5: Grill the packets until the sugar, Kahlua, and butter are boiling, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Step 6: Open the packets, pour over bowls of ice cream and serve immediately.
