Newari Style Banana Split

Ingredients

In this Newari adaptation, the traditional ingredients of the Banana Split are replaced with Newari-specific elements. Buffalo milk ice cream is used instead of the usual vanilla ice cream, adding a unique creaminess and richness to the dessert. The ghee caramel sauce replaces the traditional chocolate sauce, infusing the dish with a distinct Newari flavor. Additionally, the garnish of crushed roasted sesame seeds and chopped pistachios adds a nutty twist to the classic dessert.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Buffalo milk ice cream — Make sure the ice cream is well-chilled before serving to maintain its creamy texture.
• Ghee — Use high-quality ghee for the best flavor and aroma.
• Roasted sesame seeds — Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown and release their nutty aroma.
• Chopped pistachios — Use unsalted pistachios for a better balance of flavors.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra indulgent twist, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the ice cream.
• Experiment with different toppings such as crushed jaggery or cardamom powder for a unique flavor profile.
• If buffalo milk ice cream is not available, you can substitute it with regular vanilla ice cream.
