How to Make a Watermelon Banana Split

Watermelon isn't an ingredient that usually comes to mind when you think of a banana split. But when combined with ice cream, bananas and delicious toppings, watermelon makes a delightfully different hot weather treat. Serve some refreshing watermelon banana splits at your next summer get-together.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Chocolate ice cream
• Strawberry ice cream

1. Split a peeled banana in half lengthwise. Lay the halves side-by-side in a bowl or a banana split dish.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're concerned about the fat content of your watermelon banana split, substitute low-fat frozen yogurt in place of ice cream;= and reduced-calorie whipped topping in place of whipped cream.
• To add crunch, toss a handful of crushed nuts, toasted almonds or granola on top.
• Add some extra fruit to the watermelon banana split. Try strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple or berries.
• Have a watermelon banana split party. Put all of the delicious ingredients on a table, give everybody a bowl, and let them build their own banana split.
