Lime juice, fresh lime zest and rum add tangy flavor to this Caribbean-style banana dessert.

Lime juice and fresh lime zest add flavorful tang to the buttery-rum richness of this recipe. Grilling the bananas gives them a little bit of a smoky quality that is just right – not too overpowering. Our bananas were probably a little more ripe than they should have been, so we had a little trouble with breakage on the grill. To avoid that problem, choose bananas that are yellow, but still show some green near the stems.

  1. Halved this recipe for my husband and I and it came out fantastic! The sauce was incredible! The only thing I adjusted was that we used a pan to fry the banana and the put them on a tray and  then broiled them in the oven for 5-10 minutes in order to get them a more crisper outer texture. Worked out great! 5 stars
