A simple Banana Split dessert can become your sweet staple indulgence on the table — a fancy looking dessert made of simple ingredients to nicely surprise your family and guests.

Bananas? Who loves them so much I do?

In my family, bananas, especially baby bananas, are never missing from my fridge. My daughter loves them, and I always try to have them to add to her oat porridge, in fruit salads, or to make a fabulous tasting banana split dessert.

If you have never tried baked or fried bananas, then it is time.

When I have tasted banana split dessert for the first time, I was so sceptical about ordering or not that dessert. Thank God I did, as I simply got in love with it.

I adored how it looked, and the sweet cinnamon tastes with a scoop of ice cream and some whipped cream tasted really out of this world. These are some of the beloved ingredients that I go mad when I crave for something sweet—a great combination with a precious lasting memory.

This dessert looks and tastes at its best. It is so simple to make that you need no much time and effort, just imagination and a spoon to dive in.

Its simple to make and amazingly tasty to eat. A classic combination and a successful result make it right away when you crave something sweet but not too caloric.

How to make a banana split?

Making banana split at home is easy as it sounds. The only ingredients you need to have are the ones you have already in your kitchen.

Some ripe bananas
Nutella or Whipped Cream
Cinnamon powder
Sugar
Vanilla ice-cream or black chocolate ice cream
Any nuts or almond flakes work great here.

Take a large cutting board and slice in half lengthwise two bananas. Take a skillet, cut slices of bananas down, and pour some sugar, honey, and cinnamon.

Here you have two options to prepare this dessert: either bake them for 5 minutes in the oven with an aluminium foil covering skillet. Or, frying them on the stove for some 5 to 7 minutes until soft and caramelised.

Pay attention that the bananas shouldn’t look too soft and mashy.

Take a plater and start layering.

Add bananas with the cut sides up and top two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream, fruits, and almond flakes.

I have garnished with blueberries, strawberries, and some chocolate syrup.

Take a spoon and dare to enjoy the moment.

Simple and delicious.
