Banana Split

No comments
Buy the most luxurious chocolate you can to make this humble dessert into something glorious
 

Ingredients

  • 1 or 2 ripe, but not over-ripe, bananas
  • 2 scoops of the best and strongest vanilla ice-cream (I recommend Hill Station's Strong Vanilla Bean)
  • hot chocolate sauce (which you can make yourself by melting Valrhona chocolate in 2 tbsp cream)
  • whipped cream, optional
  • flaked almonds, toasted, to decorate
Preparation: 5   Total Time: 5min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Split the bananas down the middle and arrange with the ice-cream in a shallow glass dish. Top with the hot chocolate sauce and spoon the whipped cream over the top. Scatter almonds over the whole dish and serve immediately.
  2. Alternatives: Serve the chocolate sauce separately; for those who don't want their choccy rations used up this way, heat some luxury caramel spread and offer it instead.
