There’s no wrong turn when you travel down this rocky road. Toasty-warm bananas filled with gooey goodness and topped with heaping scoops of (pause for drool) creamy perfection are a new cookout must-have. —Loretta Ouellette, Pompano Beach, Florida

Rocky Road Grilled Banana Splits Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
10 10 20

Ingredients

  • 4 medium firm bananas, unpeeled
  • 1 dark chocolate candy bar with almonds (3-1/2 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup miniature marshmallows, divided
  • 1 quart rocky road ice cream
  • Whipped cream in a can

Directions

  • Place each banana on a 12-in. square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat.
  • Cut each banana lengthwise about 1/2 in. deep, leaving 1/2 in. uncut at both ends. Gently pull each banana peel open, forming a pocket. Finely chop half of the candy bar. Fill pockets with chopped chocolate and 1/2 cup marshmallows.
  • Grill bananas, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown. Transfer each banana to a serving plate; top with scoops of ice cream. Break remaining chocolate into pieces. Sprinkle chocolate pieces and remaining marshmallows over tops. Garnish with whipped cream. Yield: 4 servings.

Tip

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

I used vanilla ice cream, as that was what I had in the freezer. Delicious!
