We made this New Orleans dessert even more indulgent by serving those classic flavors between layers of toasty brioche and melty marshmallows.

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
2 tbsp (30 mL) packed dark brown sugar
4 tsp (20 mL) caramel sauce
½ tsp (2 mL) cinnamon
8 slices brioche bread
¼ cup (60 mL) chopped walnuts, divided
12 marshmallows, divided
Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving

Directions

Set the Deluxe Electric Grill & Griddle, with the griddle plates, to "CUSTOM" for 3 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Slice the bananas on a bias. Combine the banana slices with the sugar, caramel, and cinnamon. Divide the banana mixture onto 4 slices of the bread and top with the walnuts and marshmallows. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
Transfer the sandwiches to the grill and cook in the Closed position. Cook until the bread has toasted and the marshmallows have softened.
Cut each sandwich on a diagonal and serve with ice cream, if you’d like.

Cook's Tips:

If you have pecans on hand, they also work great. Once you’ve added the ice cream (if using), you can drizzle more caramel on top and add a sprinkle of cinnamon.
