Thebananamay be the sundae fruit vessel of choice (and a great source of potassium to boot), but the standard split formulaone banana, plus three scoops ofice creamis a disastrous recipe for the discerning eater.Pineapple, on the other hand, holds one goodscoop of ice creamperfectly, and its kick of sweetness and aciditywhich is only intensified when it’s grilledmatches nicely with the creamy vanilla.
