Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Bananas
- 3 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 strips Crispy bacon
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 4 slices Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
- 3 whole Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Let cool and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the bananas and slice each one lengthwise down the middle, creating four halves in total. Arrange two halves on each serving plate or a shallow bowl.
Place three scoops of vanilla ice cream between the banana halves on each plate, spacing them evenly.
Drizzle the peanut butter over the ice cream using a spoon (if the peanut butter is too thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to make it more pourable).
Add a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup over the ice cream and bananas.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the ice cream and bananas to add a salty crunch.
Top each plate with 2 slices of pickle for an unexpected zing.
Add dollops of whipped cream around the ice cream scoops, and if desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top.
Finish by placing a maraschino cherry on top of each ice cream scoop for a classic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your weird and wonderful creation!
