You'll Need: Porcelain or ceramic quiche dish

5. Bake 12-14 min until bananas are soft, yet still hold their shape. Remove from oven; carefully remove foil. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Portion evenly into 12 serving dishes; top each with 1/4 cup ice cream.
Chef Tip(s):
• To toast nuts: add Macadamia nuts to dry pan on MEDIUM-HIGH. Cook, stirring, 1-2 min until toasted.

• Bananas can be prepared an hour in advance, then covered and chilled. Put in oven 25 min before serving (may need extra cooking time).
