Grilled Bananas

Okay, so I am a self-professed chocolate addict. When we go out to eat, I always have to take a peek at the dessert menu, and if anything includes the word "chocolate" I am immediately sold. Chocolate has all too often served as a pick-me-up on a bad day, or as a mode of stress relief.

That being said, this grilled bananas recipe is probably my favorite dessert. It's so delectably rich that I cannot get enough of it. It's creamy, flavorful and surprisingly simple! I know the picture isn't the best, but seriously, if you love bananas or coconut at all, you will want to try this one.

Ingredients


1/2 cup coconut cream
2/3 cup heavy cream
4 bananas
Juice and rind of one lime
1 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil
1/2 cup dry, unsweetened coconut

Directions


1. Beat the coconut cream and the heavy cream together in a bowl until thick but floppy. Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
2. Peel bananas and toss in lime juice and rind. Lightly oil a preheated grill pan and cook the bananas, turning once, for 2-3 minutes, until softened and browned.
3. Toast the dry unsweetened coconut on a piece of foil under a broiler until lightly browned. Serve the bananas with the coconut cream, sprinkled with toasted coconut. (NOTE! The browning of the coconut does not take long, only about one minute! Be very careful with this step because it is super easy to burn.)
