Best Summer Dessert Ever!

I have finally mastered what I call "Grilled Plantains Ala-mode"   I have tried several different ways of making this Summer time dessert, but it just never tasted quite right.  Well, now it is perfection!   I hope you try it out and enjoy!


What you need:
A large plantain
Caramel Sauce
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Honey
Brown Sugar


Prepare the Plantain:

Split the Plantain in half length wise, keeping the peel on
Brush the open exposed flesh with honey
then put on a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg



Preheat the grill:

I allowed 10 mins on medium heat


Once grill is ready, put plantains on the grill, flesh side UP.



Let them sit on the grill until peel is falling off and honey mixture is caramelized. (about 10 mins or so)



While on the grill, get our your vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce (of course you can make your own, but I preferred, semi homemade sometimes...lol)


The Plantain will be hot..let cool for about 30 seconds or so...and then scoop out the flesh with a spoon on to your prepared ice cream.





EAT ASAP!  If you are a lover of bananas you will LOVE this recipe.  You will serve it for guests...it is so eye appealing and tastes as good as it looks!

Let me know what you think! 

Be Blessed

National Chocolate Chip Day

Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
