- GANACH: While bread is baking. Put chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat cream and sugar until just about to boil. Pour over the chips and let set for 1 minutes. Whisk together until all chocolate is melted. If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, microwave for 20 seconds and stir again. Repeat until all is melted. Set aside at room temperature.
- PINEAPPLE: While bread is baking. Mix together, pineapple, vanilla and zest in a small bowl. Set aside at room temperature.
- WALNUTS: At the end of the bread baking. Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Add the walnuts and let simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the nuts and spread evenly on a cookie sheet. Once bread is done, roast in the oven at 325 degrees, for about 20 minutes. Stir one or twice. Check often, to make sure they are not burning. The are done when they snap in the center. Crunchy all the way through.
- ASSEMBLY: Peel bananas, and slice in half length ways. Slice banana bread to desired thickness and place one plate or in bowl. Lay a banana half over or next to bread. Top with two or three small scoops of ice cream. Top each scoop if ice cream with chocolate ganach, crushed pineapple, chopped candied walnuts, and whipped cream. Enjoy!
