Hi Bold Bakers, it's hard to believe but little baby George is almost two years old. We've had
a very crazy happy, fun, love-filled, crazy, fun, crazy two years with him.
He is so smart. He is so funny. He is just a joy to be around. If I know anything about my baby boy
is that he loves ice cream, and he loves bananas. So I thought a banana split was the perfect treat
for him to celebrate his birthday. We're going to make all of the ingredients completely from
scratch the ice cream, the sauces that everything is gonna be a lot of fun. And then at the end,
we're going to bring Georgia into assemble his own Sunday. So let's get started.
So yesterday I got all of my ingredients ready in advance, my ice cream, my chocolate sauce,
my strawberry sauce and all those recipes can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com.
So we're going to start out by making my famous two ingredient no machine ice cream. This recipe
has millions of views online, we've been making it for years, so you're definitely going to want
to pay attention. In a stand mixer, we're going to pour in our heavy whipping cream.
Now you want cream to be cold and you wanted to have a high fat content, so something around
36% Because we're going to whip this, whip it up on a medium speed for a few minutes until it
reaches soft peaks. Something that looks like this not too stiff. Now we're going to turn
back on the machine to a medium high speed and we're going to pour in some cold condensed milk.
Now we're going to whip it up until it reaches a stiff peak.
So something a little bit firmer than what we had before. The condensed milk is really important in
here because it adds sugar which makes your ice cream scoopable unstopped at forming ice crystals.
So in no time at all your ice cream base will thicken and I will look like this. This is the
consistency that we're going for. Now this is the magic of this recipe we're going to turn it into
different flavors of ice cream. So to turn this ice cream base into chocolate here in my bowl,
I have a little bit of milk chocolate, it has been melted and cools into this I'm going to
fold in around a third of my ice cream base. You want to do this nice and swiftly so your chocolate
doesn't set. I'm choosing milk chocolate for this recipe because it's a little bit more
kid friendly and a little bit sweeter. If you like really dark chocolate you can go for us.
Once your ice cream is mixed, pop it into your container. I have some ice cream containers here.
Fill it all the way to the top. Pop on your lid and make sure to label us. So to make
strawberry ice cream in my small bowl here I have some strawberry sauce. Into
that we're going to add in half of our ice cream base and mix it all together.
Once combined, pop it into your ice cream top. Pop on your list and label us.
Now for vanilla ice cream. This one is really easy. We already put a little bit of vanilla into
the ice cream base. So we're just going to pop this into our tub. If you want to put in vanilla
bean paste or a little bit more vanilla flavor in there feel free to do so once again banging
on the counter, lid and label. So I put all these into the freezer for a minimum of six hours until
they're fully frozen. So ice cream is in the freezer. Now let's prep our sauces. You cannot
have banana split without delicious sauces. So we're gonna start out with our strawberry sauce.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, add in strawberries you can use fresh or frozen that's totally fine.
A little bit of sugar to sweetness and a little bit of water to loosen it up.
Then over a medium low heat. We're just going to let this simmer for around five
minutes or so until your strawberries get nice and soft. When they're soft,
go in with an immersion blender and just blended up so you get a really fine sauce.
Turn off the heat remove your pot from the stove and pour your sauce through a save
just remove any seats or lumps. So now we have our strawberry sauce to mix into our ice cream
and to drizzle on top of our banana split. Next let's make our chocolate fudge sauce
and a heavy bottomed saucepan. Way to add in our water sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla
and salt and then over a medium low heat. We're going to whisk this let it come to a
simmer until it thickens. This just takes around two to three minutes.
keep on whisking so you don't have any lumps. So now we have our sources ready to go. Let's
build our banana split. I have got my ice creams, whipped cream cherries, sprinkles,
not everything that you need. So I'm going to cut my banana straight down the middle lengthways
and then put it into my dish. Then I'm gonna scoop my ice cream, some vanilla, some chocolate
and strawberry. Now gender so you got to talk this with some whipped cream on top my favorite.
Now for our sauces, some strawberry followed by our chocolates. Just look how good that looks. And
I sprinkle over some chopped peanuts, sprinkles, of course. And then the final touch some
cherries on top. Just check that out. That is a dessert perfect for a two year old's birthday.
So this pretty one is for me, but I'm going to let George get creative and make his own.
