Mexican Bananas Foster
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 6 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Vanilla ice cream
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- The packets can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead and kept at room temperature.
- Grill the packets until the sugar, Kahlua, and butter are boiling, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Open the packets, pour over bowls of ice cream and serve immediately.
