THE ULTIMATE BANANA SPLIT

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons bakers' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 yolks
1 1/2 cups club soda
2 bananas
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup of water
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Pinch kosher salt
1 pint of vanilla bean ice cream
1/4 cup banana chips
1/4 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat your oil in a heavy-based pot for deep frying to 365 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yolks and club soda. Using a whisk, stir from the inside working your way out, slowly incorporating the dry ingredients without forming any lumps. Peel the bananas and dip in the batter and coat well. Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes until batter is puffy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels when done.
  • While bananas are cooking, prepare caramel sauce. Combine the sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot around, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and looks like syrup, about 8 minutes. Add the butter then carefully pour in the cream (it will bubble up) and continue to cook for another minute. Add a pinch of salt then cool before serving.
  • To serve the banana split, cut the bananas lengthwise and top with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Pour warm caramel sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of banana chips and toasted pecans.

TRADITIONAL BANANA SPLIT



Traditional Banana Split image

There is some debate in our ice cream parlor what the "traditional" split consists of. I did some research before we opened and it seems that this is the most consistently "traditional" split served, even though some have marshmallow, peanuts, crushed cherries and more. I prefer hot fudge over the chocolate syrup, personally :P

Time 5m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup scoop vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup scoop chocolate ice cream

1 large ripe banana
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or Hot Fudge)
2 tablespoons strawberry ice cream topping (or fresh strawberries)
2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons wet walnut ice cream topping
whipped cream
cherries

Steps:

  • Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
  • Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
  • Slice in half longways.
  • Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
  • Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
  • Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
  • Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.

BANANA SPLIT BOMBE



Banana Split Bombe image

Who knew everyone's favorite split would grow up to be such a looker? Beneath a drizzle of chocolate lie stripes of vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio ice cream, all atop a surprise core of banana cake. Just try telling your inner child to wait for dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 very ripe banana, mashed (1/2 cup)
1 cup heavy cream
2 pints pistachio ice cream, softened
2 pints chocolate ice cream, softened
Banana Cake
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/4 cup chopped pistachios, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the bombe: Spread vanilla ice cream in an even layer on bottom and up sides of a 5-quart heatproof bowl with a 9 1/2-inch-diameter rim. Ice cream should form a concave layer that comes up to the rim of the bowl. Freeze until set, about 20 minutes. Using an offset spatula, smooth the surface of the ice cream layer. Freeze again until very firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, place chocolate and banana in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream in a saucepan until bubbles begin to form around edges. Pour over chocolate and banana, and let stand for 1 minute. Whisk until combined. Set bowl over a pot of simmering water, and whisk until chocolate melts. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until thick and spreadable, about 1 hour.
  • Spread chocolate-banana mixture in a thin, even layer over entire surface of vanilla ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread pistachio ice cream in a flat, smooth layer over chocolate-banana mixture, but not up sides. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread chocolate ice cream in a flat, smooth layer over pistachio ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Place banana cake over chocolate ice cream, top side up, and press gently until cake fits snugly against ice cream. (If vanilla ice cream and ganache layers extend beyond top of cake, trim them with a sharp knife.) Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze overnight (or up to 3 days).
  • To unmold bombe, dip bowl in a larger bowl of very hot water or use a small kitchen torch to warm outside of bowl. Continue dipping or torching bowl until bombe releases when inverted onto a serving platter. Remove bowl, wipe ice cream drips off platter, and freeze until bombe is very firm, about 1 hour.
  • Make the topping: Place chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until chocolate and shortening melt. Let cool slightly, then slowly pour on top of bombe, spiraling in concentric circles to create a solid center with long drips down the sides. Sprinkle pistachios on top, and freeze until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
  • Run a large knife under hot water, and dry well. Use it to slice bombe into wedges, as you would a cake, wiping knife clean between cuts.

Tips:

  • For a classic banana split, use three scoops of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. You can also use other flavors, such as coffee, mint, or rocky road.
  • If you don't have any ice cream scoops, you can use a spoon to scoop the ice cream into balls.
  • To make the chocolate sauce, you can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. If you use semisweet chocolate, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to taste.
  • To make the whipped cream, you can use either heavy cream or whipping cream. If you use heavy cream, you will need to whip it for a longer period of time than if you use whipping cream.
  • You can use any type of nuts for the banana split. Some popular choices include chopped walnuts, peanuts, or almonds.
  • If you don't have any maraschino cherries, you can use fresh cherries instead.
  • You can also add other toppings to your banana split, such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

The banana split is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a banana split that everyone will enjoy.
