Ingredients for Baked Banana Split

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • Unsweetened Chocolate Squares
  • 25g walnuts
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)

How to Make Baked Banana Split

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 ripe but firm bananas. Do not peel.
  3. Place bananas directly on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the banana skins are completely black and the bananas are soft.
  5. While bananas are baking, finely chop 50g of dark chocolate and 25g of walnuts.
  6. Once the bananas are baked, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  7. Gently slit the skin lengthwise and peel back the top part of each banana, leaving the bottom intact for structure.
  8. Scatter the chopped chocolate and walnuts evenly over the split bananas.
  9. Serve immediately with 2 scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream (or any flavor you love!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
