Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can crushed pineapple, in natural juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 ripe, firm bananas
6 scoops vanilla light ice cream or frozen yogurt, 1/4 cup each
6 fresh mint leaves, optional
Directions
- Combine the pineapple with juice, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the juice is reduced somewhat, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cut the bananas in half crosswise. Cut each banana half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Split the banana halves open and place each one on a small dessert plate. Top each banana with a scoop of ice cream then about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the warm pineapple mixture. Top each with a mint leaf, if using, and serve.
