Drug Store Banana Split

Alan in SW Florida's Note:

Do you remember when the local drug store had an ice cream counter and soda fountain? Usually with one of the neighborhood teenagers as the "soda jerk." Here's a simple, little retro-recipe that I hope brings back some fond memories!!!! This serves 1 happy person:), so be prepared to make more.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 scoop vanilla ice cream

• 1 scoop strawberry ice cream
• 4 tablespoons strawberry jam (or other flavor)
• 2 -3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (or almonds or pecans)
• whipped cream
• 1 maraschino cherry

Directions:

1. Split the peeled banana in half lengthwise and put in a banana split dish or individual dessert bowl.
2. Place the ice cream scoops in a row between the banana halves.
3. With a spoon, dribble the jam over the ice cream. Top with the chocolate sauce.
4. Spoon the whipped cream all over. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts and top with a cherry.
