Lesley Waters' hot banana split
Average rating: 2 out of 5 star rating

This hot banana split, filled with creamy vanilla ice cream and clusters of crunchy popcorn, is another classic dessert from celebrity chef Lesley Waters.

  • Serves: 4

  • Skill level: Easy peasy

Ingredients

Don't store bananas in the refrigerator before making a banana split. And try to choose banans with some black spots.

  • 4 x medium sized bananas
  • 4 scoops soft-scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 100g (3½ oz) toffee popcorn
  • 2tbsp golden syrup or runny honey

Method

  1. Place the whole bananas on the barbecue or place on a baking tray in a preheated oven 190°C (375°F, gas mark 5) and bake for 8-10 mins until the bananas are black and softened.
  2. Put the ice cream in a bowl and gently stir in two-thirds of the popcorn.
  3. Split each banana down the middle in its skin and open out to expose the creamy flesh.
  4. Place on a serving plate and spoon the ice cream mixture into each split banana. Top each with a little extra popcorn and a drizzling of golden syrup or honey. Serve straight away.
