This take on the classic banana split is the perfect answer to the question “What’s for dessert?” when nothing was planned. A well-stocked pantry will have most everything needed for this lazy summer treat.
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe Chocolate Ganache (page 20)
2 ripe bananas
1 recipe Creamy Custard (page 20)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
2 tablespoons salted halved peanuts (optional)
6 maraschino cherries (optional)
Makes 6 bites
DIRECTIONS
Set out six 4-ounce canning jars. Divide the ganache in half, and divide one half among the bottoms of each jar.
Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch coins. Divide one of the bananas among the jars. Divide half of the custard among the jars. Repeat one more banana and custard layer. Top with 1 tablespoon of jam on top of each jar and then divide the remaining ganache on top.
Sprinkle peanuts over top of the ganache and crown it with a cherry, if desired.
