Baked Bananas Balinese

IBeeSmok'n

I was a little distraught tonight because my wife wanted to cook dinner in the conventional oven. Bless her heart I love her dearly. Well I could not stand looking at the bird through the oven window instead of lifting the big green lid or watching the remote from the probe I would have plugged into the bird monitoring the internal temperature of glory rise so I fired up my new egg to try my first crack at desert. Wow are these little puppies tasty.
The conventional oven has since been disconnected. Ha!
Have a good week folks![p][p]

Bananas halves spread with mixture of coconut, butter, brown sugar, nuts and brandy. Then, Egg'd to perfection and topped w/ ice cream and whipped cream.[p]Ingredients:
• ½ Cup Butter (room temp; not melted)
• ¾ Cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
• ½ Cup Walnuts or Pecans, finely chopped (pieces size of small pea)
• ¾ Cup Coconut (sweetened, flaked)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1-2 Tbs Liquere of Choice (brandy or rum seems best)
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 qt Vanilla Ice cream
• 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream, whipped and chilled
• 8 Bananas, large and Yellow, w/a little green on skins[p]Preparation Directions:
• Put grid in Egg. While Charcoal is ramping up to 350 F temp, stir together butter, brown sugar, walnuts, coconut, vanilla, liquere, and cinnamon in medium mixing bowl until well-combined. Note: this topping may be made up to 2 days ahead, covered and refrigerated. Cut stem ends off bananas. Carefully cut bananas into even halves lengthwise. Do not peel them. Place cut bananas on baking sheet, skin side down.[p]Cooking Directions:
• Spread topping on banana halves, allowing about 2 Tablespoons per banana half. When bananas have been topped and Egg is at 350 F, place halves on grid, skin side down, leaving ½ inch space around each. Close lid. Top vent should be quarter way open. Bottom vent open about ¼ to ½ inch. Temp is forgiving with this recipe but should keep a range between the 325-350. Cook 17-20 minutes. Finished bananas will pull slightly away from sides of skins and coconut will be slightly crispy. Skins will be dark brown. Do not let coconut blacken. A little charring around edges is okay. Remove bananas with long spatula. Allowing 2 halves per serving, place on plate and top with scoop of ice cream, dollop of whipped cream and an additional dusting of cinnamon, if desired.[p]Special Instructions:
• Before spreading topping mixture, if it seems loose,add more coconut.
• Use firm bananas for best results.
• Use of wood chips is not a good idea; heavy smoke taste to be avoided.
• Banana halves closest to edge of grid will cook a little faster.
• Nuts must be finely chopped to spread properly. [p]

IBee Smok'n,[p]Beautiful photography. Similiar to one I do.[p]Dessert, Fruit, Richard

Here is one way I like to do bananas, peaches, pears and apples, pineapple rings or wedges..
[p]Preparation:
1/4 cup Turbindo sugar.
1/2 cup Pecans, Walnuts, Macademia, Almond or combination, Coarsley Chopped
1/4 cup Coconut Flakes, Coarsley Chopped
4 Tbs Butter, Melted
1/2 oz Gran Marnier, Amaretto, Myers Rum, Orange or Banana Liquer, Malibu Coconut Rum, (Optional)
Whip Cream to Garnish




Procedure:
1 For an interesting dessert, take the coconut flakes, nuts, turbindo sugar, melted butter, and mix with a little, (your choice) gran marnier, amaretto, or liquer of choice or orange juice. Mix into a thick paste. Cut bananas in half lengthwise with skin on,(skin is great after heated) peaches or pears. After the main dish is cooked and the BGE is being shutdown. I place the fruit on the grid (skin on)with the mixture covering the fruit and turn the puppy off. 15-25 minutes later, after the main course is finished, the dessert is ready. Top with blueberries, raspberries,whipped cream, ice cream or whatever you prefer.
