Ingredients:

1.5 pounds of cream cheese
5 pounds of bananas cut on bias 1½ inch
3 pounds of brown sugar
1 ounce of hazelnut syrup
1 ounce of margarine

Instructions:

Soften cream cheese in food mixer. Sauté of bananas with margarine, hazelnut syrup and brown sugar. After sautéed, place in large colander let drain for 10 minutes.

Cut up remaining bananas, mix them all together and put in cooler for two hours to chill.

Once bananas are chilled add the bananas and cream cheese together (the mix should be stiff so it does not run when you put it on the bread).

Grill on all five sides and top with strawberry blueberry compote and powder sugar.
