Banana Coffee Ice Cream Sundae

I recently discovered something wonderful: a banana split sundae with coffee ice cream instead of the more traditional vanilla or chocolate is so totally yummy. The bananas mellow sweetness and the coffee ice creams slight bitterness make this amazing contrast. Throw on some chocolate sauce, whipped cream and nuts (and cherries, or whatever else you like), and its delicious.
Ingredients
* Banana, sliced in half lengthwise
* Coffee Ice Cream (I like Haagen Daas, because its only got a few ingredients and none of them are bizarre chemicals - and its delicious)
* Chocolate sauce (I like Nesquik)
* Whipped cream
* Almonds or cashews - both are wonderful, as would be probably most other types of nuts
* Maraschino cherries (optional)
ingredients
This is really simple, and you can make it in whatever order you want, but just for fun I photographed my own creation stage by stage.
Lets go bananas - and nuts!
bananas
First, go bananas.
chocolate
The bananas want to be close to the chocolate. Indulge them.
icecream
The coffee ice cream comes next - right in the middle, and stirring up trouble.
nuts
After coffee, sometimes we go a little bit nuts.

The nuts also want to be close to the chocolate, and if youre smart, you know better than to mess with them. Besides, theres nothing wrong with two drizzles of chocolate. Right?
whipped
Whipped cream - the perfect lid to put on this insane asylum.

And one final drizzle of chocolate. What? It wasnt even my idea! The whipped cream felt naked. What was I supposed to do?
Wicked, absolutely wicked! ... I’m going to the grocery today, and you know what will be in my cart, don’t you, rascal!
