Cedar Wrap Smoky Bananas with Chocolate & Pistachios

• Main Ingredient: Banana
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Serves: 4
• Recipe by: Cedar

Sweet tooth anyone? Make your dessert impressive with cedar wraps! Grilled fruit, like these bananas, with chocolate and ice cream has to be one of the simplest yet delectable desserts out there. It’s super easy to do. You don’t even need a kitchen. It’s a great way to use up bananas that are starting to get ripe.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set your BBQ to 120°C. In the meantime, finely chop the pistachios and mix with the grated coconut. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt au bain-marie.
2. Peel the bananas, spread the melted chocolate all over them and sprinkle with the pistachio mix. Wrap each banana in a cedar wood wrap and tie with a piece of twine.
3. Place the wrapped bananas on the grid and close the lid. Allow the bananas to cook for about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the wrapped bananas from the barbeque and serve while still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Instead of pistachios and coconut, you can sprinkle the bananas with cinnamon and brown sugar instead. The sugar will melt and caramelize on the grill. Instead of ice cream, you can serve it with frozen yogurt instead. Whichever way you choose, it’ll be an impressive, fun and flavourful dessert!
