Banana Splits With Pineapple Brown Sugar Topping Recipes

GRILLED BANANA SPLITS

Steps:

• Cut a small piece off the curved side of 4 unpeeled bananas so they'll sit level, then make a deep slit down the center of each through the peel; place on separate sheets of foil. Open the slits and brush the inside of each banana with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar and 1 ounce chopped semisweet chocolate; fold up the foil. Grill the packets over high heat until the chocolate melts, 6 to 8 minutes (don't worry if the peel turns brown). Open the peels and top the bananas with ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.

POWDERED SUGAR CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Cut the wonton wrappers in half on the diagonal so you wind up with 20 triangles. In a medium sized bowl, toss the triangles gently with the canola oil, separating the pieces gently so each piece is coated with oil.
• Place the triangles onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crisped.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve. Crisps will keep up to 4 days in an airtight container.

BANANA SPLITS WITH PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR TOPPING - WW TOO!!

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple with juice, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the juice is reduced somewhat, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the bananas in half crosswise. Cut each banana half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Split the banana halves open and place each one on a small dessert plate. Top each banana with a scoop of ice cream then about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the warm pineapple mixture. Top each with a mint leaf, if using, and serve.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Remove skin and "eyes" from pineapples and slice into 3/4-inch rounds; remove core if you wish or just thickly coat each slice with a layer of brown sugar. Set slices on a broiler pan.
• Place the pan under the broiler as close to the heat as possible and broil until the sugar is caramelized, about 3 minutes keep your eye on the pineapple to make sure it does not burn.
• Remove slices from the broiler pan and set on plates; garnish with drops of port wine if you wish.

BROWN-SUGAR BANANAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water; set aside. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When foam from butter subsides, add bananas in a single layer; cook, flipping once, until dark brown, 7 to 9 minutes total.
• Add reserved honey mixture; cook 45 seconds and serve immediately. Cooled bananas can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Reheat over medium-low before serving.

• In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, banana and raspberries. Transfer to a lightly greased 2-cup baking dish. In a small bowl, combine oatmeal and chocolate chips. Sprinkle over fruit; drizzle with butter. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ice cream if desired.
