Classic Banana Split

Since Mr. Fantabulous is on this Banana Split kick AND his EPIC failed attempt to make his own, I figured I’d share how to make one.  Now for me, I thought it was pretty straight forward but if you saw the picture I posted on our Facebook page of his poor mangled ice cream treat I felt it my civic duty to share this.  Even if it’s just for him to read and follow.  Trust me, waking me up at 11pm on a work night to discuss where the sauces are and then proceed to show me his banana split (that literally resided in a 3qrt casserole dish – yes 3 quarts!) is not wise.  So to my dear darling husband – this is all for you!

First the sauces… for me (and most) a Classic Banana Split consists of 3 scoops of ice cream and then each scoop have their own type of sauce.  You have your Pineapple Sauce, Hot Fudge (for some reason it always goes in the middle) and then your Strawberry Sauce.

Now the type of ice cream, if you want standard are Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry though I’ve notice that most places nowadays do all vanilla bean. *shrugs* Here, he gets what I have on hand… I mean it gets smothered in all those sauces anyway, right?!

    I’m pretty particular on this. To me the classic is the three scoops of three flavors, but it’s important which topping goes on which. The pineapple should go on the strawberry, the strawberry topping on the chocolate, and the chocolate on the vanilla.

    and no nuts…
