-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Peanut Butter Whipped Mousse:
2/3 Cup Chilled Heavy Cream
5 Tablespoons Sugar
1/3 Cup Smooth Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Grilled Bananas:
4 Ripe But Not Overripe Bananas
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter -- Softened
Warm Chocolate Sauce (Optional)

To make the mousse, whip the cream in a small bowl, gradually adding the
sugar. When the cream holds soft peaks beat in the peanut butter and
vanilla extract just until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.

As the peanut butter mousse chills, prepare the bananas: Leaving the
skins on, cut them in half lengthwise and rub the flesh with the soft
butter. Place the banana halves on a rack over hot coals, flat side
down; keep them toward the edges of the grill if the coals are very hot.
Grill the bananas, without turning them, for about 8 to 10 minutes,
until the flesh is soft.

Serve 2 halves per person, the ends touching, with a big spoonful of the
peanut butter whipped mousse in the middle. Drizzle the chocolate sauce
here and there if you're using it.
