I worked at a Baskin Robbins as a teenager. It is still one of my all-time favorite jobs. One of our biggest sellers (besides my awesome milkshakes) were banana sundaes. These are not those treats. We did not serve grilled banana sundaes at Baskin Robbins. We should have because they are crazy good! All the same flavors as the classic but with a nicely grilled ooey-gooey banana too!
Grilled Bananas? Optional
My wife is not a fan of grilled bananas, specially if they get a bit soft. And they do when grilled. So, if you’re the same way, just use regular ole fresh bananas and you’ll still have a great dessert. I think the grilled bananas add a little mystique to the dish. Something different.
Substitute grilled Twinkies for the banana for a totally different twist on a sundae!
