If you're making a traditional banana split, start with a banana, then add scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream. Next, add your toppings, chocolate syrup, crushed pineapples, and strawberry topping. Then sprinkle some crushed nuts and garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
