Grilled Banana Splits with Hot Fudge and Rum Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat a grill to high and lightly oil the grill grates.
  2. Place the banana halves cut side up on a baking sheet and drizzle evenly with the honey.
  3. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and transfer to the grill, cut side up, arranging the bananas perpendicular to the grill grates.
  4. Close the grill cover and cook until bananas are caramelized around the edges and the fruit is beginning to pull away from the peel, 3 to 5 minutes depending on your grill.
  5. Carefully transfer the grilled banana halves (still in their skins) to a small baking sheet.
  6. Using 2 small forks or a long, thin spatula, carefully remove the banana from its skin and place 2 pieces of banana on each of 6 serving plates.
  7. (This is a little tricky since the bananas are now very soft.)
  8. Top each banana with 1 or 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  9. Drizzle with Hot Fudge Sauce and Rum Caramel Sauce.
  10. Top with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  11. Top each serving with a maraschino cherry and serve immediately.
  12. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  13. 1/2 cup sugar
  14. 3/4 cup heavy cream
  15. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  16. 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  17. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  18. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  19. Pinch salt
  20. Combine the cocoa powder and sugar in the top of a double boiler over briskly simmering water and whisk to combine.
  21. Add the heavy cream and corn syrup and whisk until smooth.
  22. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is hot, thick and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  23. Add the chocolate, butter, vanilla and salt and stir to combine.
  24. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
  25. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  26. (The sauce may be prepared up to several weeks in advance and reheated gently in a double boiler before serving.)
  27. Yield: about 2 cups
  28. 3/4 cup sugar
  29. 1/4 cup hot water
  30. 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  31. 2 tablespoons dark rum
  32. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  33. 2 teaspoons cold unsalted butter
  34. In a heavy saucepan combine the sugar and water and cook over high heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
  35. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally but never stirring the sugar mixture, until mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, 5 to 8 minutes.
  36. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the heavy cream; be careful, the mixture will splatter.
  37. Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat to medium.
  38. Allow to cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally to help incorporate the cream, about 5 minutes.
  39. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum, vanilla and butter.
  40. Serve warm.
  41. (If making the sauce in advance, rewarm the sauce before serving.)
  42. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

bananas, honey, light brown sugar, vanilla ice cream, sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, peanuts, maraschino cherries
