Believe it or not, banana splits are a great way for children to have a well-balanced sweet treat. My secret? Go heavy on the fruit! Ingredients:
1/4 cup whipping cream |
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups vanilla light ice cream |
2 cups diced strawberries |
1 1/4 cups sliced banana (2 bananas) |
1/4 cup dark chocolate sauce, warmed |
1/4 cup bottled caramel sauce, warmed |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted almonds |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Beat with mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.
2. Scoop 1/2 cup ice cream into each of 8 bowls. Top each with 1/4 cup strawberries and 2 1/2 tablespoons banana. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons each of Dark Chocolate Sauce and caramel sauce over each serving. Top each with 1 tablespoon sweetened whipped cream and 1 tablespoon almonds.
3. Tip: For portion control, scoop the ice cream for the kids, and then let them assemble everything else themselves.
