A traditional Doc Strickler banana split is composed of a single banana split in half lengthwise with each half strategically placed on opposing sides of the dish.
Scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream are placed between the banana slices. The ice cream is then covered with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. The Boston recipe is composed of only vanilla ice cream and only two scoops of ice cream instead of three.
Cherries were placed on top of both scoops of ice cream and peaches were used as dividers between the scoops. Pistachios and crushed walnuts were also used to top off this version of the sundae.
Wilmington had a version that differed slightly from the original Latrobe recipe as well. Although the Wilmington version used three scoops of ice cream as Strickler did, the variations of ice cream flavors were not documented. Wilmington splits, however, also can include caramel sauce. When Doc Strickler premiered the split, it was only a whopping ten cents! Students from nearby Saint Vincent College were credited in spreading awareness of the banana split across the globe.

The confusion is understandable, though. David Strickler, a year-old druggist apprentice at Tassell Pharmacy in Latrobe, apparently out-scooped them all in the summer of He split a banana from stem to stern, laid it on a dish and heaped three scoops of ice cream between the halves.
Students from St. Downtown banners feature pictures of banana splits, as does the local Elks Club pin. Hazard, owner of The Cafe.
