2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or hot fudge
2 tablespoons strawberry sauce or fresh strawberries
Whipped cream
1 maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)

Peel the banana and carefully split it lengthwise to fan it out into a ‘U’ shape.
Place each scoop of ice cream in distinct sections of the fanned-out banana.
Drizzle pineapple sauce over the vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup over the chocolate scoop.
Spread strawberry sauce or place sliced strawberries over the strawberry ice cream.
