Grilled Banana Split with Smoked Vanilla Bourbon Ice Cream
When developing your game plan for the best mixture of munchables to watch the Big Game, don’t forget the sweet stuff. Hit them with the savory snacks, and then bring it home with a decadent mixture of smoky, sweet ice cream (with a kick!), framed by grilled bananas and your favorite toppings. Traeger’ed Banana Splits are the cherry on top of the perfect Game Day celebration.
GRILLED BANANA SPLIT WITH SMOKED VANILLA BOURBON ICE CREAM
INGREDIENTS
Ice Cream:
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 cups Half-and-Half
2 tsp. Bourbon
Seeds from 1 Vanilla Bean or 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
Banana Split:
4 ripe, but still firm Bananas, unpeeled, split lengthwise
Granulated Sugar
Jarred Chocolate, Butterscotch, Pineapple, or Strawberry ice cream toppings
Chopped Nuts
Sweetened Whipped Cream (Reddi-Wip® or homemade)
4 Maraschino Cherries
METHOD
Ice Cream Preparation:
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 3 hours
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
SERVES: 6 to 8
RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Apple
- When ready to cook, start the Traeger on SMOKE with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
- Leave the dial on SMOKE.
- Combine the heavy cream and half-and-half in an aluminum roasting pan. Place them in the Traeger and smoke for 45 minutes.
- Once the cream mixture has smoked, remove it from the grill, add the bourbon, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Stir until it is fully dissolved, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Pour into an ice cream maker until it reaches a soft serve consistency. Next, put it into a plastic container and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until you are ready to assemble the banana splits.
Banana Split Preparation:
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 10-12 minutes
DIFFICULTY: 1/5
SERVES: 4
RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Cherry
- When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on SMOKE with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
- Set the temperature to 450 degrees F (HIGH) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. Dip a stiff brass-bristled grill brush in water and brush the grill grate thoroughly before grilling the bananas (You don’t want any residual food particles from previous grilling on the bananas).
- Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas lightly with sugar. Lay the bananas, cut-side down, on the grill grate. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- Peel the bananas. Cut each banana piece in half, crosswise.
- For each serving, arrange 4 pieces of banana in a serving bowl. Top with 2 scoops (or more!) of Smoked Vanilla Bourbon Ice Cream, and a decadent drizzle of one or more of the ice cream toppings. Top with a lush mound of whipped cream. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired, and finish with a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.

Traeger Grills and Baldface Lodge Combine Forces
TRAEGER GRILLS AND BALDFACE LODGE COMBINE FORCES
Portland, OR: Traeger Grills and Baldface Lodge have partnered to create a one-of-a-kind dining and destination experience.
Oregon-based company Traeger Grills features natural wood pellet grills that help people cook delicious meals outdoors. Designed to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbeque- the difference of a Traeger Grill is in the taste. The Traeger Grill Company has been inspiring food enthusiasts for years and most recently British Columbia’s Baldface Lodge.
Jeff Pensiero, GM of Baldface Lodge, remembers- “The partnership with Traeger came to me from a long-time friend and mentor in the snowboard industry. He told me his Traeger Grill was nothing short of inspiring! That word resonated with me. I’m always looking to create the most aspirational experience for our guests. Our lodge and our food, alongside our 32,000 acres of world-class terrain, is what sets Boldface apart. This partnership has inspired our chefs, as well! They’ve purchased all grass-fed beef and organic turkeys and keep finding unique ways to use our Traegers: smoked apricots in our salads and a smoke infused butter cream topping for our carrot cake are just a couple new additions.”
The Baldface Lodge, featured on the front page of the New York Times and named as one of GQ’s Top Ten Hippest Hotels in the World, is barbecuing exclusively with Traeger Grills. Traeger Grills’ outdoor cooking products produce unique flavors that only natural wood pellet grills can offer and the Baldface Lodge felt the partnership would be a great addition to their resort experience.
Recently, some members of the Traeger Grill team traveled to British Columbia to spend a few days at the Baldface Lodge. Together they had an unforgettable powder experience and ate delicious food prepared by Boldface Chefs cooked exclusively on Traeger Grills. Team members mentioned, “We’ve finally found something better to smoke than weed in British Columbia,” and “Even gnu get’s better on a Traeger!”
Both companies are excited about the partnership and look forward to creating more unique experiences for visitors. “We look forward to many years of great food, great snow and great people to share them with,” concludes GM Jeff Pensiero.

Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Wings
It doesn’t really feel like Game Day without a plate of chicken wings, piled as high as your hopes for victory. We’ve spiced this recipe up with red-hot Sriracha, and sweet, buttery brown sugar to balance it out. This Sunday, your team will bring the heat. Will you?
SWEET AND SPICY SRIRACHA WINGS
INGREDIENTS
Rub:
1 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp. Traeger Chicken Rub
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 lbs. Chicken Wings (thawed)
Sauce:
5 Tbsp. Melted Butter
1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Siracha
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Lime Zest
1 Tbsp. crushed Garlic
1 Tbsp. crushed Ginger
1 Tbsp. chopped Cilantro
1 Tbsp. toasted Sesame Seeds
Juice from 2 limes
METHOD
- When ready to cook, start the Traeger on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
- Set the temperature to 325 degrees and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine all the ingredients for the rub. Evenly coat the wings in the rub mixture and place the wings directly on the grill. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
- While the wings are cooking, combine all the ingredients for the sauce except the cilantro and the sesame seeds. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill, turn the Traeger up to HIGH (450 degrees),toss the cooked wings in half of the sauce mixture (just enough to coat them), and place them back on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized.
- Top with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
