Banana Split Pops Food

TRADITIONAL BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
• Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
• Slice in half longways.
• Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
• Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
• Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
• Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
• Enjoy!

BANANA SPLIT PUSH POPS

Steps:

• Stand 10 to 12 push-pop dispensers upright in an ice cream cone holder with as many openings as you have containers. Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch slices. Using the open end of a push-pop dispenser as a cutter, cut rounds of pound cake from the slices. Push a pound cake round to the bottom of each dispenser with your finger.
• Remove the banana split ice cream from its container and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Using the open end of a push-pop dispenser as a cutter, stamp out rounds of the ice cream slabs. Push an ice cream round on top of each pound cake round with your finger or a spoon.
• Place banana slices on top of the ice cream rounds and spoon in a little hot fudge sauce. Pipe a tall mound of whipped cream into each push pop until it stands up over the edge. Garnish with chopped walnuts, banana slices and maraschino cherries. Freeze until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.

QUICK BANANA SPLITS

BANANA POPS

Steps:

• For each pop, insert posicle stick into bottom of one banana, burying 1/2 of stick.
• Wrap individually in plastic wrap.
• Freeze for minimum 6 hours.
• To serve, unwrap and eat like a popsicle.
• If desired, lay each banana on a plate and drizzle with a tablespoon of chocolate syrup before serving.
• To combat dripping chocolate, hold the pop over the plate while eating.
• Frozen banana pops will keep in the freezer tightly wrapped 2-3 weeks.
