It's easy to enjoy all the wonderful flavors of a banana split served in a waffle cone, if that's how you roll.  Place half of a banana in the cone, then scoop in ice cream.  Drizzle with a little strawberry sauce (or jam), then top with whipped cream, pistachios, and a maraschino cherry.

This is a fun mashup between banana pudding and a sundae. You could even get the kids involved with this. Grilling the banana adds a little flavor, while charring the vanilla wafers makes for an interesting texture—together, it's delicious. Banana pudding ice cream pulls everything together, so it's definitely worth buying.

Give your favorite ice cream treat a serious upgrade by caramelizing the bananas before building your sundae. Broiling the banana with brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon intensifies the fruit's sweetness and adds a layer of rich depth to your dessert. This recipe is for a single split, but is easily multiplied to serve more.
