Grilled Bananas Foster

This is a great summer dessert. The rum and brown sugar glaze help the bananas caramelize nicely and the spiced whipped cream makes a great addition.

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup spiced rum
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon spiced rum

Directions:

Prepare a medium hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover or preheat a gas grill to medium high. In a small mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar and spiced rum. Brush on both sides of bananas. Grill bananas for 3 minutes on each side, or until bananas begin to soften and grill marks appear. Meanwhile, beat whipping cream in a cold bowl with confectioners sugar, cinnamon and rum until soft peaks form. Serve grilled bananas with spiced whipped cream.
