- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whipped cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped nuts (walnuts or peanuts)
Garnish:

Instructions
- Gently separate the bananas from their peels and slice them longitudinally, positioning the halves with cut surfaces facing upward in a elongated serving vessel.

- Crown each ice cream mound with a billowing cloud of whipped cream, creating elegant peaks and valleys.

Notes
- Choose ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape when sliced and don’t turn mushy.
- Chill your serving dish beforehand to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry for a classic combination.
- Use dairy-free or low-sugar ice cream alternatives to make this dessert more diet-friendly and accommodate various nutritional needs.
