Ingredients

- 1 cup chocolate ice cream
- 1 cup strawberry ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Remove bananas from refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Peel bananas carefully and slice each banana lengthwise down the center, creating two long halves.
- Line a large freezer-safe serving dish or baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the banana halves side by side in the prepared dish, creating a base for the banana split.
- Using an ice cream scoop, carefully place one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream along the length of the banana halves.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the ice cream scoops, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Carefully spread whipped cream over the top of the ice cream using a spatula, creating a smooth layer.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly across the top of the whipped cream for added crunch and texture.
- Garnish the banana split with maraschino cherries, placing them strategically across the dessert.
- Place the banana split in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the ice cream to set and become slightly firmer.
- Remove from freezer just before serving and slice into individual portions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cold, creamy, and delightful dessert.
