Here is our version of a classic American banana split, inspired by our recent trip to LA.

Butterscotch sauce

½ cup	Sour cream
½ cup	Brown sugar
100 g	Butter

Bananas

5	Bananas, ripe
½ Tbsp	Butter
3 Tbsp	Brown sugar
2 Tbsp	Cream
1 pinch	Ground cinnamon

To serve

5 servings	Ice cream (Main)
1 handful	Almonds, shaved, or other nut of your choice
1 bag	Popcorn, caramel, store bought

Directions

Heat together all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until everything is combined. This can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
Halve the bananas lengthwise. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cream and leave to melt for 1 minute. Lay the banana pieces on top, cut side up, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute. Turn bananas carefully and cook for another minute, basting with the pan sauce.
To serve, place two banana halves in each dish, with scoops of icecream in between. Spoon over the butterscotch sauce and top with shaved almonds or other nuts and popcorn.
