The "slave topping" thread got me thinkng about hot fudge and whipped cream (fresh), which got me thinking about dessert. Which got me thinking about the Infamous Banana Split which has become a sort of dessert icon in my mind. I had this dessert at vegetarian night at a really good restaurant in Pittsburgh. It was a whole banana, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. Yes, I said deep fried in tempura batter. To this was added homemade cinnamon ice cream, fresh mango, real whipped cream and homemade hot fudge. It was bliss. I kept going back to the same restaurant for vegetarian night month after month, hoping they would have it on the dessert menu again. After about nine months I finally asked about it and was told the chef was "over bananas" and would never be preparing that dessert again. Meanwhile, plantains were heavily featured on that night's menu. "Could you not just make me one with a plantain?" I thought. And who "gets over" bananas anyway? So, let's hear it. What's the most amazingly decadent blissfully orgasmic dessert you've ever had the pleasure of consuming? Recipes are most welcome.
