Ingredients

1 banana
¼ vanilla ice cream 1 scoop
¼ strawberry ice cream 1 scoop
¼ chocolate ice cream 1 scoop
2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
2 tablespoons strawberry sauce
1 tablespoon crushed nuts peanuts, walnuts, pecans, pistachios
½ cup whipped cream
3 maraschino cherries

Instructions

Peel the banana and slice in half lengthwise. Place a slice of banana on either side of a medium sized shallow bowl.
1 banana
Place one scoop each of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream, in a row down the center of the bowl. They should be placed in between the banana slices.
¼ vanilla ice cream, ¼ chocolate ice cream, ¼ strawberry ice cream
Drizzle the hot fudge, caramel sauce, and strawberry over the entire dish. I recommend going side to side from one end of the bananas to the other to get your traditional banana split appearance.
2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce, 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, 2 tablespoons strawberry sauce
Top each scoop of ice cream with a large dollop of whipped cream or you can pipe it on if you prefer.
½ cup whipped cream
Place a maraschino cherry on top of each scoop of whipped cream and sprinkle crushed nuts over the top of the banana split.
3 maraschino cherries, 1 tablespoon crushed nuts
Serve immediately.
