The German Ice cream dessert Banana split is served in every ice cream parlor – Eisdiele – in Germany. The origin is actually from the USA, from Latrobe, a city in Pennsylvania. It’s been said to use three different ice cream flavors: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. The German version is using two: vanilla and chocolate. This ice cream specialty has gone around the globe and it’s served in a long dish which makes the dessert look like a boat.
In Germany the dessert had been made popular after ww II through the Italian Ice cream parlors that got established all over the nation. Enjoy this dessert. Happy Icecreaming!
