Celebrate National Banana Split Day with a delicious treat - top off your banana split with the classic toppings and enjoy!
Dig in and enjoy National Banana Split Day on Aug. 25! This fun-filled day has been around since 1907, when it was first invented by a 23 year old pharmacist named David Strickler. Since then, the banana split has become an iconic dessert that can be found all over the world! It is made up of three scoops of ice cream sandwiched between two banana halves and topped with whipped cream, nuts, cherries and other delicious toppings.
A classic banana split is good, but why not mix it up and try something new. Try different toppings like bacon, strawberries, or peanut butter, or switch up the ice cream flavors. You can even turn it into a sundae by adding hot fudge.
Making banana splits is super simple and fun! All you need are bananas, some ice cream flavors of your choice, and various toppings. Cut the banana in half longways and add a scoop of each flavor of ice cream and top with your favorite toppings.
Gather a group of friends to see who can finish their banana split the fastest. Make sure everyone has the same ingredients so it's fair! This is sure to be a fun way to celebrate National Banana Split Day together.
Set up an ice cream bar with all sorts of different toppings for everyone to make their own sundaes. You can also serve other snacks that are banana themed like banana bread or smoothies.
If you don't feel like making actual banana splits, you can still bring out all the flavors in other ways. Try making cupcakes topped with chocolate sauce and cherries or make an ice cream cake with layers of bananas and whipped cream.
There's nothing quite like a classic banana split. With its perfectly ripe bananas, creamy ice cream and syrupy toppings, it's no wonder why this iconic dessert has been so popular for generations! Plus, there are endless variations so you can customize your banana split to suit your tastes.
Making your own banana split is a great way to spend quality time with friends or family. You can have everyone choose their own toppings and add their own creative touches to their desserts. Plus, you won't be able to resist licking the bowl when you're done - it's a win-win!
For many people, eating a banana split brings back happy memories of childhood summer days spent at the ice cream parlor. So if you've been feeling a bit down lately, try making yourself (or somebody else) a banana split - it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
