How to make it
- Chill four long dessert dishes or shallow bowls in the freezer for a few minutes so the ice cream does not melt too quickly once assembled.
- Peel each banana and slice it in half lengthwise, then lay the two halves against the sides of each chilled dish to form a long cradle for the ice cream.
- Nestle one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream in a row between the banana halves in every dish.
- Drizzle the ice cream topping sauce generously over the scoops, letting it run down the sides.
- Pipe or spoon a swirl of whipped cream over each scoop, then scatter the sprinkles and chopped nuts on top.
- Finish each banana split with a maraschino cherry pressed gently into the whipped cream and serve immediately while the ice cream is still firm.
