This dessert is awesome! I've been making this for years now and I continue to get rave reviews on it. I always make it in a pan and the goo that forms in the pan, I just pour over the bananas and ice cream as a topping! It's perfect. I'm not sure why other reviews commented that it was messy. I used granulated brown sugar - maybe that made the difference - but I didn't think it was messy at all.

First time we tried a BBQ dessert and it was a big hit. It is important to use just ripe bananas or they would be too difficult to work with. We might try cutting them into chunks next time and putting them on skewers.

Pretty good. I used the stove top because we had already turned off the grill. I liked how the coating got crispy when it hit the ice cream. I may make this again, it was good - but didn't knock my socks off.

We made these when bbq'ing with friends (adults and kids). Not only were they fairly easy and absolutely delicious served hot over vanilla ice cream... but they were also a fun conversation piece because who has ever heard of grilled bananas?!? Because we'd read that this can get messy, we left the banana in the peel and cut it in half lengthwise. We put the sugar/cinn mixture on the cut side only. Grilled it first on the peeling side until the banana was soft and the topping was melted. We flipped it over and cooked the cut side briefly just to leave grill marks. (yes.. that part is a bit messy.) Do not use overripe bananas; the texture is "off." Use barely ripe because they are firm and easier to handle.

Great recipe! My wife and I love it. I will be making this one again!

This was awesome! I fried them in a pan, and they turned quite mushy. I can't imagine how they would stay firm on a bbq?

Wow..!! This was amazing. Zen-like. I wasn't too sure what to think at first, but I gave it a try and it was to die for! Certainly messy though! I sprinkled the sugar and cinnamon over the bananas after the lemon on a plate instead of rolling them in the mix. This resulted in a caramel goo that was then delicious poured on top of the vanilla ice-cream! I also sprinkled a dash of cinnamon and chopped pecans (or walnuts would be good) on top as well, which gave a delicious crunch! I think next time I might try this on BBQ broiler pans as the goo on the grill is hard to clean off and prone to catching fire...

Extremely simple and delicious. I used slightly under ripe bananas so that they would be a little more manageable on the grill. The sugar mixtures sweetens them adequately.

This tastes great. My wife always asks me to make these after our grilled dinners

This was pretty darn good. We weren't too sure about it at first - but it's tasty, and goes great with the vanilla ice cream. I cooked mine in a skillet with some butter. Thanks.

I cooked it on the stove and had it over some left- over chocolate cake with ice cream and it was great.

ah-mazing. whoa. Out of left field, I wasn't sure what to expect, but these are such a treat. I made this recipe for our cinco de mayo party and have made three times since then. People don't know what to expect when you say "now for dessert, barbequed bananas". but everyone so far has had nothing but raves. I know I personally love it! Fabulous!

These bananas were a big hit with the kids. I did cook them on the stove with a little butter. You just have to watch that you don't cook too long...they get very soft very quick!

Once you roll them in the sugar they are very fragile and I could see how the grill would get pretty messy so I used the foil technique. I was expecting them to crisp up but they never did so I was disappointed. I served with whipped topping and nuts instead of ice cream. My guests seemed to enjoy it but I don't think I'll make this one again.

good beans
