~A dish to try on a holiday or a special/certain occasion~
The weather went from being chilly and cold to extremely hot and humid. Everyone’s been going to ice cream places and needing more cooling refreshments. Why not just make your own easy ice cream dessert instead of having to go out in the hottness to get one? Try making the original Banana Split! Eat it right away though or else it will end up melting.
Ingredients:
three-four scoops of ice cream (flavors vary)
one large ripe banana
other toppings: chocolate syrup, berries, whipped cream, wet walnut, etc.
Directions:
1. Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
2. Cut the ends of the banana off ( about one-fourth in.) while still in the peel.
3. Slice in half longways.
4. 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.
5. Top the ice cream with the varieties of different toppings and enjoy!
