Equipment

- Ice Cream Scooper
Ingredients
- 1 large banana peeled and cut in half lengthwise
- 1 scoop strawberry ice cream
- 1 scoop chocolate ice cream
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
- 2 tablespoons strawberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
- Whipped topping

Instructions
- Prepare the Banana: Place the halved banana in the bottom of a shallow dish. This creates the base for your banana split.
- Top the banana halves with one scoop each of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream.
- Crushed Pineapple: Spoon 2 tablespoons of crushed pineapple over the vanilla ice cream.
- Strawberry Sauce: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of homemade strawberry sauce over the strawberry ice cream.
- Hot Fudge Sauce: Pour 2 tablespoons of hot fudge sauce over the chocolate ice cream.
- Finish with Whipped Topping and Nuts: Add a generous amount of whipped topping over each scoop of ice cream. I prefer using Cool Whip, but you can also use whipped cream from a can. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped peanuts over the top.
- Place a maraschino cherry on top of each scoop of ice cream for a finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
