Caramel Banana Split Recipe

 

If you ever find yourself longing for a good old fashioned dessert, look no further than a simple Banana Split. Topped with deliciously crunchy nuts, whipped cream, and of course a cherry on top, the banana split recipe evokes dreams of sun drenched summer days and picnics in the park.

 

 

An all-American staple for over a century, the banana split recipe was invented in 1904 by a 23-year-old Pennsylvania pharmacist to attract business from local college students. Ever since, the classic banana split recipe has been adapted to all different delicious forms and flavors.

 

 

While the original (made with 3 scoops of ice cream,one each of vanilla, chocolate, & strawberry) will always hold true, there’s nothing like a yummy twist. Instead of the average vanilla, & strawberry ice cream, how about mixing it up with ENLIGHTENED’s Bananas Foster? With velvety swirls of caramel in every bite, you won’t regret making this heavenly banana split recipe.
