Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (see note 1)

- To each scoop of ice cream, add a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a maraschino cherry.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Ice cream: Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are the traditional flavors of a banana split, but feel free to use any flavor(s) you prefer.
- Bananas: Use fully ripe yet firm bananas to ensure they are sweet, but not mushy.
- Toppings: Pineapple topping, chocolate syrup, and strawberry topping the classics here, but hot fudge and caramel syrup are also popular.
- Chopped nuts: Store-bought nut topping adds a professional touch to your sundae, but any nuts work and you can certainly chop them yourself. For a turtle twist, try toasted, chopped pecans.
- Yield: This recipe makes one luscious Banana Split. It's large enough to share, but you certainly don't have to!
