BANANA SPLIT

Nothing beats a banana split when it comes to making ice cream sundaes! This childhood favorite is also loved by many adults and for good reason; traditionally you get three types of ice cream, a banana, maraschino cherries and three different types of topping garnished with nuts!

Ingredients

1 banana
1 scoop chocolate ice cream
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
1 scoop strawberry ice cream
2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or compote
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons crushed sweetened pineapple
whipping cream
maraschino cherries
chopped roasted peanuts or walnuts

Instructions

Peel then slice a banana in half lengthwise. You don’t want to do this too far ahead of time or they will brown.
Place one piece of the banana on each side of the banana boat dish.
Place a scoop of vanilla, chocolate and then strawberry ice cream between the banana pieces as shown. Alternatively, you can place the ice cream right on top of the banana slices, the choice is up to you.
Place the crushed pineapple on top of the vanilla ice cream.
Place the strawberry syrup or strawberry compote on top of the strawberry ice cream.
Place chocolate syrup on top of the chocolate ice cream.
Top each ice cream scoop with whipped cream.
Place three maraschino cherries on top, one in each whipped cream pile.
Sprinkle with peanuts or walnuts.
Serve.
