Instructions
- Combine the 2 chocolates in the top half of a double boiler set over barely simmering water.
- Stir constantly until all chocolate is melted, then whisk in the corn syrup and water without removing the double boiler from the heat.
- Whisk until smooth and shiny.
- (The sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated.
- To re-warm, stir over low heat or heat in a microwave.)
- Whip the heavy cream and add the sugar when the cream starts to grow in volume.
- Continue whisking until light and fluffy.
- Build a banana split in a tall martini glass by placing a triangle of banana leaf at the back of the glass.
- Cut banana in half then split them lengthwise.
- Dip the cut sides in coarse sugar and caramelize with a torch or place under broiler.
- Lay in the glass like rabbit ears.
- Add scoops of ice cream, then chocolate sauce, whipped cream and peanuts.
- Finish with a sprig of mint.
