This is a very simple recipe. Even a kid can make it in about 5 minutes.
- The first step is to peel the bananas.
- Peel each banana carefully without breaking it .
Now place them aside and discard the skin.
Grove on the Bananas

Now that you have the bananas neatly peeled, carefully cut groves right in the middle.
- Place the bananas on serving tray.
- Cut groves on the bananas they way you wish to decorate them.
- I have cut one banana like a boat and another I have split into two.
- I have also sliced a banana into small pieces horizontally to decorate in the end.
Add the Ice Cream

The next step is the most exciting part. Adding the Ice Cream on the Bananas.
I have used a vanilla flavor and a butterscotch flavor for this . You can simply use any flavored Ice Cream you want. It's totally a matter of personal preference.
Carefully top the bananas with as much Ice Cream as you want.
The Topping

For the Topping, it's all up to your imagination. You can keep it simple by just adding a cherry on top.
Hell , you can even enjoy it without any topping as well. Here I've just put a few drops of caramel syrup which I made in a previous Instructable. Just get creative and top it with nuts, m&m's or just anything you like. Serve it before the Ice Cream Melts and Enjoy !!
