Tiny Banana Splits Recipes

Steps:

• Pierce 8 unpeeled baby bananas in a few spots with a knife. Roast on a baking sheet at 375 degrees F until brown and soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly. Split open the bananas, slicing through the peel. Top with coconut ice cream and chopped peanuts.

Steps:

• Place banana in a dessert dish; place scoops of ice cream between banana. Top with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whip cream to soft peaks; set aside. Place banana slices around inside edges of 6 small bowls. Fill with a scoop of frozen yogurt; top with strawberry or caramel sauce, if desired, and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Halve bananas, then cut into quarters. Place 3 segments into each serving dish. Using a melon baler to achieve "tiny" scoops, place a scoop of each flavor of ice cream on top of the banana. (Ice cream may be scooped ahead of time and refrozen. This will help the ice cream to hold its shape.)
• Drizzle a little bit of each sauce over the ice cream and sprinkle with crushed nuts, whipped cream, and top it off with a maraschino cherry.
• Break up or chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Melt in microwave on low power, stirring every 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
• Using a fork, mash strawberries with sugar in a bowl until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Puree pineapple and sugar in food processor or blender until slightly chunky. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a mug.
• Put the walnuts in another small bowl. Peel the bananas, trim the ends and cut each into six 2-inch pieces. Dip each piece halfway into the chocolate, and let any excess drip off. Roll the chocolate-dipped ends in walnuts, then set them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate to set the chocolate. (The bananas can be refrigerated up to 2 hours.)
• Whip the cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Add the preserves, and stir to incorporate. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe a star-shaped dollop on top of each banana. Garnish with a piece of cherry and sprinkles.

Steps:

• Divide bananas among four shallow dishes. Top with remaining ingredients.

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.
