Banana Split Float Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oil in a heavy-based pot for deep frying to 365 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yolks and club soda. Using a whisk, stir from the inside working your way out, slowly incorporating the dry ingredients without forming any lumps. Peel the bananas and dip in the batter and coat well. Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes until batter is puffy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels when done.
• While bananas are cooking, prepare caramel sauce. Combine the sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot around, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and looks like syrup, about 8 minutes. Add the butter then carefully pour in the cream (it will bubble up) and continue to cook for another minute. Add a pinch of salt then cool before serving.
• To serve the banana split, cut the bananas lengthwise and top with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Pour warm caramel sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of banana chips and toasted pecans.

Steps:

• Place ice cream scoops in a row in an oblong dish. Sprinkle almonds around the ice cream, then strawberry slices, and then banana slices. Place 1 cherry on top of each ice cream ball except the middle one. Put whipped cream on the middle ice cream scoop and top with remaining cherry. Drizzle with strawberry syrup.

Steps:

• Peel and split the bananas in half lengthways and place on two plates. Top with the scoops of ice cream, drizzle over the sauce and scatter with almonds.

Steps:

• In a blender mash bananas. Add milk, strawberries and 1/2 pint chocolate ice cream; beat just til blended. Pour into tall chilled glasses. Top each with scoop of chocolate ice cream. (Or use 1 1/4 cups sliced, sweetened fresh strawberries for frozen ones).

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the first five ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Gradually add ice, blending until slushy. Pour into chilled glasses. Garnish with whipped topping, chocolate syrup and cherries. Serve immediately.
