Ice Cream and Toppings
Method
Preparation
Make the Berry and Pineapple Compote
In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries and diced pineapple. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the fruits begin to break down and release their juices. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble the Banana Split
Place a banana, split lengthwise, in a serving dish. Scoop the vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream into the dish, placing them side by side. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream.
Add Compote and Toppings
Spoon the house-made berry and pineapple compote over the ice cream. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top and add a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Finish with Cherries
Top with maraschino cherries and serve immediately.
