openrecipes
Going to the ice cream parlor as a kid, banana splits always seemed like the ultimate decadence. With caramelized bananas, buttery toasted almonds, warm fudge sauce and fresh cherries, it’s clear that this is not your average banana split. But it’s perfect for adult tastes. Buy the best ice cream you can find, or, better yet, make your own.
