Ingredients
- 4 Bananas (See notes)
- 450 ml Ice cream (About 8-12 scoops)
- 50 g Toasted flaked almonds
- 12 Glace cherries
- 500 ml Double cream (heavy cream (US/CAN) or (AUS) thickened cream)
- 2 tsp Icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 ml Double cream
- 150 g Dark chocolate (About 50% cocoa solids)
Method
- Beat 500ml (2 cups) of the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.
- Make your chocolate sauce by putting the remaining 100ml (1/2 cup) cream and chocolate into a bowl over a pan of simmering water (donβt let the bowl touch the water). Stir gently until the chocolate is melted into the sauce. (Alternatively, microwave in 30 second bursts stirring very well in between each.)
- Now put together your banana splits. Peel and slice each banana split lengthways and sit in your dish.
- Put scoops of ice cream between each pair of banana half. Top with the whipped double cream (spoon it or pipe it on).
- Drizzle with the chocolate sauce, sprinkle over almonds and add the cherries before serving.
