Baked Banana & Ice cream Dessert For Drivers
>> 7/14/2011
The "Drivers" dessert was inspired by a baked banana recipe what I have found on a new cooking service eRecipeCards.com. I have never tasted a baked banana before, so then I saw an original recipe of grilled bananas with milk chocolate in Jam Hands blog I understood I should give it a try. To make a "Drivers" Dessert you need:
- baked banana with chocolate,
- ice cream,
- any syrup,
- garnishes form pear and apple in a shape of gear-wheels and traffic signs (like the one in the Lightning McQueen watermelon project).
How to bake bananas with chocolate
For 2 persons I took 2 bananas and a kind of chocolate we use for a chocolate fountain. Slit banana in half and stuff it with chocolate. Bake for 5-7 minutes.
While I had my bananas baking I took a time to make fruit garnishes.

Ripe some syrup in the bottom of the dessert bowl. Add ice cream and hot baked bananas. Fill the bowl in with ice cream and garnish the dessert with a pear gear-wheels and some berries ( I used honeysuckle from my mother garden ;))

The important note: eat the dessert immediately while the chocolate is melt down and the ice cream is frozen. Mmm.. yum-yum
