A summertime favorite, banana splits are a classic frozen treat no one can resist. Homemade butterscotch sauce and freshly whipped cream takes these kid-friendly desserts to a more sophisticated level.
Ingredients
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 6 tbsp. butter
- 1/3 c. packed light-brown sugar
- 3 tbsp. light corn syrup
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 8 bananas
- 2 pt. chocolate ice cream (or your favorite)
- 1/2 c. salted peanuts (optional)
- 8 maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Make butterscotch sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup cream, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Sauce can also be made up to 1 week ahead; cover and refrigerate in an airtight container.
- If sauce is refrigerated, place in microwave, before serving, for 30 seconds; stir. If still too thick, microwave for 15 seconds more, and stir again.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whisk remaining 2/3 cup cream and granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
- Assemble: In each of eight shallow dishes, arrange 2 banana halves lengthwise. Place 2 scoops ice cream on bananas. Top with butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, and, if desired, peanuts and a cherry. Looking for more dessert ideas?
