This is a fun mashup between banana pudding and a sundae. You could even get the kids involved with this. Grilling the banana adds a little flavor, while charring the vanilla wafers makes for an interesting texture—together, it’s delicious. Banana pudding ice cream pulls everything together, so it’s definitely worth buying.
How to Make It
Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Make a long cut through the skin on the concave side of each banana, and pull peel apart slightly. Place bananas, cut-side up, in a grill basket. Grill, uncovered, until banana is warmed through and peel is mostly black, about 10 minutes. Remove bananas; set aside. Add vanilla wafers to basket, and grill until cookies get slightly charred, about 1 minute.
Divide ice cream evenly among 4 bowls. Peel bananas, and cut each diagonally into 5 pieces. Top ice cream with bananas, whipped topping, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce. Coarsely break up vanilla wafers, and sprinkle over bowls. Top with cherries.
