To make a perfect banana split you will need bananas, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and hot fudge, strawberry, and caramel syrups. You cut the bananas in half lengthwise and place them on a dish with space for ice cream. Then scoop three balls of ice cream and place them on the bananas, topping each with a different syrup - hot fudge, strawberry, or caramel. Finally, add whipped cream, nuts, and cherries to complete this classic dessert.
