Banana Splits for 100
50 (approx. 17 lbs.) bananas
2 cups orange juice
3 1/4 gallons ice cream

1/2 gallon whipped topping
2 cups (8 oz.) chopped peanuts or walnuts
28 oz. maraschino cherries
Peel and slice bananas lengthwise into quarters and place on a sheet pan
(18 by
26 inches). Pour juice over bananas; cover tightly with plastic wrap;
refrigerate until ready to serve. Place 1/2 cup (2 scoops) ice cream in soup
bowl.
Drain 2 banana quarters and place one on each side of ice cream.
Ladle 2
Tbsp. sauce over ice cream. Top with 1 Tbsp. whipped topping,
1 tsp. chopped
nuts, and 1/2 maraschino cherry.
NOTE: This recipe is from someone who posted on it on Growlies message
board ...My
husband was a U.S. Army cook and here's a recipe from his notebook. I've
never tried
it but this may help for quantities. He said they topped one scoop
of ice cream with
chocolate syrup and the other with defrosted sliced
strawberries in syrup. You could
experiment with the orange juice-banana idea
and see if they stay nice. Good luck!
