BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM SANDWICH from I Scream Sandwich! Makes 6 sandwiches “…Part sandwich, part sundae, it’s a great way to use up bits of leftover ice cream and sauces, all while maintaining a semblance of health (bananas! berry sauce! fruit and nut garnish!). I’ve even used soft honey-whole wheat buns in place of the brioche and they perfectly soaked up all the melty ice cream and sauces…For a banana split party, line up the buns, sugar-crusted bananas, ice cream with small scoops, bowls of sauce, and any additional toppings, and let everyone make their own.” – Jennie Schacht ASSORTED ICE CREAMS AND TOPPINGS 3 or more flavors of ice cream or gelato (homemade or store-bought), enough to make 18 small scoops in total (1 to 2 Tablespoons per scoop) 3 or more sauces (homemade or store-bought), such as Salty Carmel Swirl (page 156), Fudge Ripple (page 156), and Berry Ribbon (page 159) Any additional toppings you desire, such as fresh berries, chopped toasted nuts, marshmallows, whipped cream, or candied cherries HOT DOG BUNS There’s a recipe for homemade Brioche Buns in the book, but you can also use 6 soft, good-quality bakery or store-bought hot dog buns. CARAMELIZED BANANAS 3 bananas, peeled and split lengthwise 2 to 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar Lay out the bananas cut-side up on a flat flameproof surface and sprinkle each half evenly with 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar. Holding a kitchen torch 1 to 2 inches from the surface, move the flame slowly and steadily over the bananas until the sugar melts and then browns, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, broil the sugared bananas on a baking sheet as close as possible to the heating element, watching closely until the sugar is melted and golden brown, 2 minutes or longer, depending on your broiler. SANDWICH Split and open the buns, leaving them hinged on one side. Remove some of the soft insides from both sides of the bun to form a well. For each sandwich, place a bun on a plate and lay a caramelized banana against the top half of the open bun. Place 3 small scoops of slightly softened ice cream on the bottom half, up against the seam. Top each scoop with a spoonful of sauce, warmed if desired, and any additional toppings you wish. Press gently to close the bun, and serve immediately. Doesn’t that sound like a great cool summer treat? Do you like ice cream sandwiches, and have you ever made homemade ones? nancycreative/category/food-and-recipes/other-desserts/
