Versión en español

Actually, I've never eaten a Banana Split because I'm allergic to bananas, but my friends love them, when I lived in Santiago, going to Bravissimo or Tavelli to enjoy one was a usual date.

3. Cut the banana in half lengthwise.
4. Place between 2 halves of banana 1 scoop of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
