This recipe is:

Quick

4 Servings

Prep/Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients

8 slices pound cake (1/2 inch thick) or 4 individual round sponge cakes

2 medium firm bananas, cut into 1/4-inch slices

4 scoops vanilla ice cream

1/4 cup chocolate sauce

Directions

• Place cake slices on four dessert plates. Top each with bananas and ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Yield: 4 servings

Recipe Tips

• Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe.
• Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.
