Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas halved and left in the peel
  • vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces creme fraiche
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • blackberries blueberries, and or raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the creme fraiche and maple syrup.  Don't over mix and leave a few streaks of maple syrup visible.  Place the bowl in the freezer while preparing the bananas.  If you prefer the creme fraiche to be frozen like a soft ice cream, leave in the freezer for about an hour.
  • When ready to serve preheat the grill or grill pan.
  • Brush the cut side of the banana lightly with vegetable oil.  Grill with the cut side down until golden brown.  This will only take a few minutes.  Turn the banana over and continuing grilling on the peel side until cooked through.
  • Remove from the heat and set the banana aside to cool for a few minutes.  Using a table knife or spoon, remove the cooked banana from the peel and place on a serving dish.  Top with a large tablespoon of the maple creme fraiche and garnish with berries.  Serve immediately.
