A Banana Split is a classic dessert that features a split banana served with a variety of toppings, typically ice cream, sauces, whipped cream, nuts, and cherries. This indulgent treat is often served in a long dish called a boat or on a plate designed specifically for banana splits.

Here’s a typical breakdown of the components:

  1. Banana: A ripe banana is split lengthwise and placed in the serving dish, traditionally with one scoop of ice cream between the two halves.
  2. Ice Cream: Three classic flavors of ice cream are commonly used: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Each scoop is placed on top of the banana halves. However, variations with different flavors are also popular.
  3. Sauces: Chocolate, strawberry, and pineapple sauces are the traditional choices for topping each scoop of ice cream. These sauces add sweetness and richness to the dessert.
  4. Whipped Cream: A generous dollop of whipped cream is often added on top of each scoop of ice cream, adding a light and airy texture.
  5. Nuts: Chopped nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or peanuts, are sprinkled over the whipped cream for added crunch and flavor.
  6. Cherries: A maraschino cherry or two is traditionally placed on top of the whipped cream as a colorful garnish. It adds a sweet and tangy touch to the dessert.

Variations of the Banana Split may include additional toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, marshmallows, or caramel sauce, depending on personal preference and creativity.

      Easy Pinoy Leche Flan Recipe

      Easy Pinoy Leche Flan Recipe

      Here is an easy leche flan recipe that you could make at home.

      Lechen Flan is a favorite Filipino dessert. It is almost always present in special occasions like town fiestas.

      What is Leche Flan?

      Leche Flan is a variation of Creme Caramel, a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce.

      In the Philippines, flan is known as leche flan (the local term for the originally Spanish flan de leche, literally “milk flan”), which is a heavier version of the Spanish dish, made with condensed milk and more egg yolks. Leche flan is usually steamed over an open flame or stove top in an oval-shaped tin mold known as llanera (also spelled lyanera), although rarely it can also be baked. Leche flan is a staple dessert in celebratory feasts.
      An even heavier version, called tocino de cielo or tocino del cielo (Spanish for “heaven’s bacon”), is similar, but has significantly more egg yolks and sugar.
      Leche flan is also commonly baked into pastries. The most common is the Filipino dessert flan cake or leche flan cake, a Filipino chiffon or sponge cake with a layer of leche flan on top. It can similarly be baked into steamed cupcakes known as puto mamón, a combination known as puto flan.

      Leche Flan is a variation of Creme Caramel, a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce.

      Ingredients

      • For the Flan:

      • 12 egg yolks, beaten

      • 1 can  evaporated milk (or whole milk), (354 mL)

      • 1 can condensed milk, (410 mL)

      • 1/2 cup sugar

      • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

      • water (for steaming)

      • For the Caramel:

      • 3 tbsp water

      • 1 cup light brown sugar

      Directions

      • Prepare individual llanera (or two 9 x 2 in flan molds) and set aside.
      • Start by preparing the caramel. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil then reduce low heat before adding the sugar.
      • Stir continuously for about 2 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes or turns amber.
      • Immediately pour the caramelized sugar into prepared individual flan molds. Evenly spread the caramel in the molds. Set the molds aside.
      • Prepare the steamer. Place a steamer in a large saucepan or a wok. Pour in water to just below the steamer and bring to boil.
      • In a separate bowl, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar and vanilla.
      • Gently pass the beaten eggs through a strainer into the bowl.
      • Stir to combine and mix thoroughly.
      • Pour the mixture into the prepared flan molds containing the caramel.
      • Cover the molds with aluminum foil, arrange into the steamer (water should already boiling before placing the molds inside) and steam for 30 minutes or until firm.
      • Set aside to cool and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

      Notes

      • Run a knife along the edges of the flan molds to loosen. Turn the molds over onto a platter or individual plates. The flan should come out easily with the caramel on top.
