Caramelized Pumpkin Banana Split Recipe FAQ

What is a traditional banana split made of? 

A traditional banana split is typically made from 3 ingredients: bananas, ice cream and toppings. The banana is typically split and placed in a long dish. Then three scoops of ice creams of different flavors are placed in the dish. Finally, toppings like chocolate syrup or whipped cream are added. Some dishes come with other garnishes like nuts, berries, sprinkles or whipped cream.  

What is the difference between a banana split and banana royale? 

A banana split is a classic ice cream dessert that features a split banana with scoops of ice cream placed in between. On the other hand, a banana royale is a simpler variation of the banana split. Both desserts offer a delightful combination of sweet, creamy and fruity flavours, so either option is sure to satisfy your cravings.

Are sundaes and banana splits the same?

While both are delightful ice cream desserts, a sundae is a more general term for any ice cream dish with toppings, whereas a banana split is a specific type of sundae that includes a split banana and multiple ice cream flavours with toppings.
