ALL-AMERICAN BANANA SPLIT RECIPE

In 1904, the first banana split was made here in Latrobe, Pennsylvania by David
Strickler, an apprentice pharmacist at a local drug store, says Melissa Blystone
of Valley Dairy. We still use his original formula when we make splits in our
restaurants.

INGREDIENTS
1 medium banana, peeled and split lengthwise

1 scoop each vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream

2 tablespoons sliced fresh strawberries or 1 tablespoon strawberry ice cream
topping
2 tablespoons pineapple chunks or 1 tablespoon pineapple ice cream topping
2 tablespoons whipped cream
1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup

2 maraschino cherries with stems

Place banana in a dessert dish; place scoops of ice cream between banana. Top
with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 serving.
