4 WAYS TO MAKE A BANANA SPLIT - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Place the banana into a long, narrow dish. If you have not already, peel the banana, then slice it in half lengthwise. Place the banana into a long, narrow dish, with the curved ends pointing up. You can buy dishes made specifically for banana splits.
• Place three scoops of ice cream down the middle, between the banana halves. One scoop each of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream is the most traditional. Another popular choice is all vanilla ice cream.
• Drizzle the sauces and toppings on top of the ice cream. If you want to get really traditional, pour the chocolate sauce on top of the chocolate ice cream, the strawberry sauce on top of strawberry, and the pineapple on top of the vanilla. Alternatively, you can pour chocolate sauce over each scoop of ice cream. If you don't have any strawberry ice cream topping or syrup, you can use 2 tablespoons (25 grams) of diced strawberries instead. If you don't have any pineapple ice cream topping or syrup, you can use 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of pineapple chunks instead. If you don't like pineapple, try 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of caramel syrup instead.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream. You can add a swirl of whipping cream over each ice cream scoop, of you can place it down the length of the banana split. The store-bought kind that comes in a can with a nozzle will be the easiest to use. You can also make your own, and pipe it on using a piping bag and a large, star-shaped tip.
• Sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top. If you don't have peanuts or if you simply don't like them, you can use chopped walnuts instead. Another tasty and more colorful option would be to use sprinkles instead.
• Top it off with some maraschino cherries. Place a single cherry in the middle of your banana split. If you really like maraschino cherries, place one on top of each whipped cream dollop.
