Banana Split Ice Cream Burger
Description
This inventive dessert starts with banana cakes molded into half spheres to form burger buns, some baked in special molds with others cut from sheet cakes. After cooling, the tops are sliced off, and the centers scooped out to create space for fillings. The interiors are brushed with melted white chocolate, which hardens to provide a moisture barrier and subtle sweetness.
Fresh strawberries simmer with water and sugar to create a thick yet pourable strawberry sauce, cooled before use. This sauce fills the white chocolate-lined buns, which are then topped with their remaining halves. Both top and bottom buns are glazed with a salted caramel sauce to add sticky sweetness and a hint of saltiness. Finely crushed peanut 'sesame seeds' are sprinkled on top for added texture and nutty flavor.
The ice cream element is a dark chocolate-dipped ice cream bar that acts as the 'patty' within the banana cake buns. This combination offers a variety of textures from soft cake, creamy ice cream, sticky caramel, and fruity sauce, making for a visually fun and flavorful dessert option.
Adapted enthusiastically from Cleobuttera's original caramel ice cream burger recipe, it showcases a creative approach to serving classic flavors in novel form.
Ingredients
- banana cake
- caramel sauce salted
- 8 ounces strawberries
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 pineapple
- dark chocolate ice cream bar chocolate dipped
- 2 ounces white chocolate
Instructions
- Cut the strawberries into small chunks.
- Combine the strawberries with the water and sugar in a saucepan and cook on low for 15 minutes or until a pourable but thick consistency.
- Let cool completely.
- The "buns" are made of Banana Cake, they are made and baked into a special half sphere mold. The bottom half of the buns are baked in a regular 1/4 sheet pan and cut out with a biscuit cutter.
- After the cakes have cooled, slice off the tops of the buns.
- Scoop out the insides to make a large well.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments then stir until melted and smooth.
- Brush the insides with a little melted white chocolate and let it set.
- Once set, fill each one with some strawberry sauce.
- Cover them with the top of the bun and use Salted Caramel Sauce recipe to glaze both the tops and bottoms of the buns.
- Top the buns with some very finely crushed peanut "sesame seeds."
- The patty is simply the Dark Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bars.
- Using a 2.5 inch biscuit cutter, cut out a slice of pineapple.
- The uniformity in size make this dessert look perfectly proportioned.
- To assemble, put the bottom half of the bun on the plate, then the Dark Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bar, the slice of pineapple and the top half of the bun.
- Whew.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- The banana cake buns are baked in half-sphere molds or cut with a biscuit cutter for proper shape.
- Brushing the buns' insides with melted white chocolate creates a moisture barrier to keep them from becoming soggy.
- Strawberry sauce is cooked until thick and cooled before filling the buns to maintain the right consistency.
- The ice cream patty is a dark chocolate-dipped bar, providing a rich contrast to the cake and fruit.
- Finely crushed peanut "sesame seeds" add texture and a nutty note on top of the caramel glaze.
- This dessert is adapted from Cleobuttera's Amazing Caramel Ice Cream Burger recipe.
