I want to sometimes cook and eat something tasty, sweet or, say, to invent some unusual beautiful dessert for a party or a romantic dinner.
One of the variants of an interesting dessert is the banana split (bananasplit, English) - this is such a typical traditional North American ice cream dessert, one of the types of sandae.
By the way, dessert sundae (and the name itself), for the invention of which several North American states claim, is still coming from Illinois, where at one time there was a strange law that forbids eating ice cream on its own on Sundays.
The original recipe for a banana split was born in the head of the ingenious David Strickler, a 23-year-old pharmacist student, in 1904. The implementation of the miracle idea of a banana split allowed to circumvent the law by selling dessert with ice cream (which was no longer considered, in fact, ice cream).
Tell you how to make a banana split.
As a rule (that is, often), a banana split is prepared in a certain way, namely: it is built from ice cream balls and other yummies in the form of a boat on a substrate of a cut banana.
The classic recipe for banana split
Preparation
We clean and cut the banana along into two halves. We spread them on an elongated bowl-boat so that they touch from below, it will be like a side of the boat. From above on halves of a banana (as though in a boat) we spread balls of different ice-cream : vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. From above, we pour all this with strawberry and pineapple syrups, as well as chocolate sauce. Next, we finish building-sprinkle with chopped nuts, decorate with whipped cream and cocktail maraschino cherries.
Banana split with strawberries and chocolate
Recipe, adapted to our conditions.
Ingredients:

Preparation
Carefully read the text first. Spread the halves of the peeled banana on a plate, immediately sprinkle with lemon juice (so as not to darken). We form balls of ice cream with a spoon. Pour chocolate-vanilla sauce, do it like this: melt chocolate, add vanilla. Instead of strawberry syrup, you can use a strawberry jam syrup. Build-create, other fruit ingredients are not excluded. Serve best with tea or coffee. We eat, not particularly carried away, this dessert is an "energy bomb".
