[lnnykmvg] Banana ice cream

Mix some banana pieces into ice cream.  (Or cheat further and just mix banana flavor into ice cream.)

The traditional banana split has an awkward shape, with the cylindrical banana an unstable base for ice cream and toppings stacked on it, with the whole thing threatening to roll when attacked with a spoon.

One might need to mix the banana pieces in only shortly before serving, in the style of Cold Stone Creamery, because letting the banana freeze might make it too hard to eat.

One could incorporate many traditional banana split toppings into the ice cream also, but it further loses nice visual presentation.

Banana splits were invented during a previous variety of bananas (Gros Michel), before that variety was wiped out due to monoculture and replaced with Cavendish.  How did the banana change affect banana splits?
