Banana split

Rating
Banana split Type of dish : Dessert
To serve : 4
Preparation : 10 min
Cooking : 8 min
Budget : Reasonable
From : USA, Canada
Difficulty : Medium
 
Ingredients :
4 nearly-ripe bananas
1/4l strawberry ice cream
1/4l vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoon light crème fraiche
200g dark chocolate
Half a lemon
Sliced toasted almonds (optional)

 
Recipe :
Break the chocolate into small pieces, into a bowl over a pan of boiling water on a moderate heat.

Add the crème fraiche and let soften, mixing slowly, until you have a smooth chocolate sauce. Keep warm.

Cut the bananas in half lengthways and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Place on two plates, add a scoop of ice cream of each flavour and cover with chocolate sauce.

Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.


Advice :
Chocolate should always be melted very slowly, whatever you are making. The best way to do it is in a bowl over boiling water, or bain-marie.

A glass of champagne goes very well with this recipe!
