Ingredients

• 3 Tbs. unsweetened coconut
• 2 Tbs. vegan margarine, divided
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 Tbs. dark rum
• 2 firm bananas, cut in half lengthwise
• 1 cup coconut, strawberry, or chocolate vegan ice cream

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on small baking sheet, and toast in oven 5 to 7 minutes, or until light brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Set aside.

2. Combine 1 Tbs. margarine, brown sugar, and 2 Tbs. water in small saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in rum. Return to heat; cook 1 minute. Keep hot.

3. Heat remaining 1 Tbs. margarine in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add banana halves, cut-side down, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Carefully transfer to 2 serving plates.

4. To serve: Top banana halves with ice cream, and drizzle with rum sauce. Sprinkle with toasted coconut
