There is some debate in our ice cream parlor what the "traditional" split consists of. I did some research before we opened and it seems that this is the most consistently "traditional" split served, even though some have marshmallow, peanuts, crushed cherries and more. I prefer hot fudge over the chocolate syrup, personally :P

SERVES 1 -2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup scoop vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup scoop chocolate ice cream
1/2 cup scoop strawberry ice cream
1 large ripe banana
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or Hot Fudge)
2 tablespoons strawberry ice cream topping (or fresh strawberries)
2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons wet walnut ice cream topping
whipped cream
cherries

Directions

1
Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
2
Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
3
Slice in half longways.
4
Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
5
Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
6
Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
7
Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
8
Enjoy!

Good stuff, the kids thought I lost my mind when I served these for dinner Wed night lol, but they were really good. Personally, I think it was healthier than fast food (omega3s from the nuts, calcium from the ice cream - I used low fat but frozen yogurt would be good too if you can find the right flavors - and fruit from the banana, strawberries and pineapple) and it's better to eat it for dinner than try to shove it in on top of a full meal. Will make them again, maybe for breakfast

I gave this 5 stars. This is exactly like they serve Banana Splits here in New York. I have not had one since I was a kid. Brings back memories. I can't wait for summer to make these for kids. Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)

This is the way we have our banana splits. They are so good. The wet walnut topping was something we hadn't had before so I used Wet Nuts Ice Cream Topping Wet Nuts Ice Cream Topping. Thanks Karen. Bullwinkle.
