Vicki’s granddaughter, Claire, enjoys helping in the kitchen. She was over for the night and it was decided that she got to help plan the menu which started with dessert (of course). Claire immediately shouted out, “banana splits!!” That was a bit of a shock because Vicki hadn’t made one since she helped her dad make them, many years ago.
Here is a recipe the kids will love putting together.
Banana Splits
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 pints your favorite ice cream flavors
- 4 bananas
- 1 can whipping cream
- 1/2 cup raspberries or blueberries
- 1/3 cup toffee chips
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas and place in 4 bowls.
- Place berries on top of bananas.
- Place 1 scoop of each type of ice cream on top of berries - or whatever ice cream your child wants.
- This is the best part. Let your child squirt the cream on top. Add the toffee chips. You can use real whip cream that you beat yourself, but your child won't have as much fun!!
Notes
Vicki said her dad sometimes put a little peanut butter on the bananas which was always a fun "surprise". You can use chocolate or peanut butter chips instead of the toffee chips.
