The Boyz Best Banana Splitz

On really hot days when we don’t feel like eating a heavy meal we will often enjoy fresh fruit, cheese and crackers and ice cream desserts. The boyz love this, especially when served in those long, skinny banana split dishes


Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream
Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
Hershey’s Caramel Topping
Banana – 1 each
Strawberries – 3 large each
Sugar – 1-2 teaspoons each
Reddi-Wip
Maraschino cherries
Banana split dishes

Rinse strawberries and cut into small-ish pieces. Sprinkle sugar over strawberries then smash with a fork to release the juices and make the pieces smaller.
Warm the caramel in the microwave 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until warm and easy to pour.
Peel and cut the banana lengthwise and place in banana split dish.
Place one scoop of each flavor ice cream in a row over the banana.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the chocolate ice cream.
Spoon strawberries and juices over the strawberry ice cream.
Drizzle caramel over the vanilla ice cream.
Squirt a mound of Reddi-Wip over each scoop of ice cream and place a maraschino cherry on each mound of cream.
Serve immediately.

Usually I encourage purchasing off brands or discounted items…but PLEASE do not skimp on ice cream or toppings. If you are going to pamper yourself with a treat…then really pamper yourself! I recommend Breyers Ice Cream and Edy’s Grand Ice Cream. Kroger has Private Selection which is good for the price.

You can prepare this in a regular bowl but the kids love it when the ice cream stays nestled on top of the banana slices.
