I suppose I owe Foodbuzz a letter of gratitude. No, not because they’re raising money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, though that’s really a plus. Because before now, I’d never spooned a banana split into my mouth.
The scoop:
To help spread the word and raise money for the OCRF, Foodbuzz is sponsoring a posting challenge, asking Featured Publishers to create the ultimate Banana Split. Foodbuzz will then donate $50 for every banana split posted (up to $5,000). To raise even more money for ovarian cancer research, head over to the Kelly Confidential website by clicking here.
To be quite honest, I always assumed that my sundae would taste more scrumptious when it was toppling over a warmed fudge brownie. Because unless it’s pies and cobblers that I’m gobbling, I discriminate against fruit when I’m seeking decadence. My apologies.
But like all judgments, I had been unfair and ignorant. A baseball sized scoop each of strawberry, vanilla bean, and dark chocolate ice creams, drizzled in homemade hot fudge, piped with whipped cream, and garnished with cherries and toasted walnuts- does indeed deserve it’s own entry in my definition of decadence.
Your photos are making me crave a banana split! It looks delicious lady!
Come to think of it, I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever had a banana split either. Have I ever??
I have never in my life seen a banana split that looked that good.
Sooo decadent, yet so yummy! And for a good cause too!
Gosh darnit…why does everyone have to keep posting about ice cream ;)
Lovely tasty pics!
I agree with Tina above…I am not sure I have actually ever had a banana split. It seems like such an American pasttime but one that I obviously missed! haha!
woowww looks amazing!!!
Thanks, Anna!
I spent 6 summers working in a DQ, so I had my share of splits, but I agree about the fruit thing. I always seek out chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, coffee…anything but fruit. My husband is the opposite…which works out nicely :)
HOLY MOLY, never have I wanted a Banana split so badly
I never knew a banana split could be beautiful until now…
Looks great, I’ve never had a banana split either.
Haha, I’m the same way. I usually discriminate against banana splits due to the whole “banana” thing, and go for the chocolate brownie instead. But this looks amazing!!! Now you have me craving one. I think it’s hot enough outside to justify having a banana split for lunch. ;)
I keep reading these posts and wishing I hadn’t spent the last several years adamantly hating bananas and ordering banana splits without the banana!
That’s so funny! You just don’t like the taste? I can understand, as long as you substitute a brownie in for the banana- a really wise move
Ahhh! That looks amazing! My husband made me a banana split for the first time a few weeks ago. He could not believe that I had never tried one. It was so good. I put some sprinkles on mine for some extra cheer. haha
This is a fantastic banana split! Yum! I haven;t had one in years!
Ok I saw that email and didn’t even read it but YES I will make a banana split for charity! lol
Nothing like a banana split for a good cause! I keep seeing these lately and I’m definitely inspired. May have to give this classic a try soon. xxSAS
