Classic Diner Banana Split
Three scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream nestle between split bananas, each wearing its own topping of pineapple, fudge or strawberry sauce. Clouds of whipped cream, chopped nuts and bright cherries make it pure soda fountain nostalgia.
Test kitchen note: Chill the serving dish in the freezer for 15 minutes first; it buys you time to add all the toppings before anything melts.
