Step 1

Start by lining up your scoops of ice cream in a long dish. Sprinkle some chopped almonds around the ice cream, then add a layer of fresh strawberry slices followed by banana slices. Place a cherry on top of each scoop, except for the one in the middle. Next, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on the center scoop and finish it off with the last cherry right on top. Finally, drizzle some strawberry syrup over everything for that perfect finishing touch. Enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Chill your ice cream slightly before assembling to prevent it from melting too fast.
- Add toppings like nuts or whipped cream just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.

Why you’ll love it

This classic dessert combines creamy ice cream, fresh fruit, and rich toppings for a perfect treat. It’s easy to customize with your favorite flavors and is always a crowd-pleaser. The mix of textures and tastes makes every bite delightful.

Serving ideas

Serve in a long dish or bowl to showcase all the layers. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce and a cherry on top for a classic finish. This dessert pairs well with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.

Storage & leftovers

Banana splits are best enjoyed immediately to keep the fruit fresh and ice cream firm. If you need to store leftovers, separate the banana from the ice cream and toppings, then keep each in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer. Fresh bananas can brown quickly, so it’s best to prepare only what you will eat right away.
