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.

Stir occasionally, or melt chocolate in the microwave 20 seconds at a time, stirring well in the intervals, if too thick add a little cream.
- Whip cream on high until it starts to form soft waves, beating on low speed add 2 tablespoons of sugar in the form of rain, beat again at full speed until it forms stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cut the banana in half lengthwise.
- Place between 2 halves of banana 1 scoop of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
