Electrolux #splits: a tropical banana split
Foodbuzz, Electrolux, and Kelly Ripa are doing it again! and i am determined to join in this time, with the Top 9 Takeover banana split theme.
on this day, Foodbuzz Featured Publishers gather together and feature the classic banana split, and for every entry Foodbuzz will donate $50 (up to $5,000!) to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
here’s the link, if you’d like to help out and donate even more to this crucial cause:

i played around with the classic formula though, and made caramelized plantain bananas the centerpiece, with vanilla ice cream, sweetened coconut sport strings (macapuno), fresh sweet mango bits, crushed pineapple, and honey-roasted cashew nuts, in homage to the tropical weather
we’re enjoying right here, now! in Boston, and to my recent impromptu trip to the Philippines….
my tropical style…

Mama Stel, one other brilliant idea is to warm mango jam and pour it over a vanilla, strawberry, mango (or peach) split with candied saba. Top with crushed pili brittle – ansarap!
