Uncle Sam Banana Split Recipes

Steps:

• Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer in a chilled metal bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Set whipped cream aside.
• Scoop vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with bananas and spread whipped cream over bananas and ice cream.
• Drizzle with chocolate and caramel toppings and scatter candy sprinkles over the sundae.
• Decorate with lit sparkler fireworks, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and serve.

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:

• 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.

• Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
