Surprise your friends with an ice cream in true American style: with this tempting banana split, you’ll make them all gasp. Let’s see how to do!
We’ll need:
• 1 banana
• 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream
• 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream

• 2/3 cup (150 ml) of heavy cream • 2,8 oz (80 g) of dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp of strawberry jam
For garnishing:
• candied cherries, chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate flakes
Preparing the banana split is very easy, first of all make the chocolate topping: chop the dark chocolate with a knife and melt in a bain marie… now add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of heavy cream, that has been previously heated, and stir.
Now press the strawberry jam through a sieve… to remove the seeds… in order to make a puree.
Now cut the banana lengthwise… and place it in a dish.
Arrange 3 scoops of ice cream on top: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Now garnish with the sauces… 3 mounds of whipped cream… 3 candied cherries… and finally… some chopped hazelnuts… and chocolate flakes.
Here’s our banana split, ready in a few minutes… good, easy and quick!
