Ingredients




8 Firm, but ripe bananas, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Melted butter
6 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar
Vanilla ice cream, frozen vani

Preparation

1 1. Put rack in center of oven; heat oven to 400-degrees. Grease 6, 12-ounc capacity souffle or small baking dishes. (You may substitute large custard cups.) Set on baking sheet. 2 2. Divide bananas between souffle dishes, overlapping them evenly and attractively. Lightly brush tops with melted butter. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead to this point and kept at room temperature.) Before cooking, evenly press confectioners' sugar through fine wire mesh strainer to cover surface, using about 1 tablespoon per serving. 3 3. Bake until bananas are very warm, about 8 minutes. Turn oven to broil and move cookie sheet to within 8 inches of heat source. Broil until surface lightly browns, about 2 minutes more. 4 4.
