Inspired by another redditor’s banana split entreatment. I’d credit them but their account is deleted.

    Chocolate is a bit too thick on the top, and I don’t know why the pineapple would be there. I wouldn’t expect that from name, and personally, I probably wouldn’t like it. But I like the form, and the banana bread/cake is good. Could possibly do with a bit more of that if you’re calling it a gateau….

    I’m digging the concept and would definitely eat it, but a cube just seems really out of place in my opinion.

    I think shorter and rectangular would be the way to go – embody the shape of a traditional banana split.

    I’d lick the middle out of each half slowly while you watched.

    Just a couple notes.

    One, the chocolate looks thick on top. Can the guest cut through it without it squishing everywhere? That would ruin the stacking effect of the build.

    Two, if you’re gonna call it a gateau, might want some more gateau lol.

    Also, maybe consider doing a fine chop on the maraschino, and folding them into the whip on top instead of doing the old-fash9oned cherry on top, to keep it modern. Could also add some of the cherry syrup for a sweetening agent, and it could give it a cool color as well. Just a thought.

    I like the way you’re thinking though! I would definitely try it!

    I feel like artificial banana flavoring always tastes like banana laffy taffy which counteracts the elegance of the dish your trying to make. Can you try infusing real banana to make it a more refined taste?

    maybe smaller, multiple bricks of delicious brick 🧱

    Looks amazing Chef. I agree with the other poster who said the Chocolate was a little thick on top and also chopping the cherry to be less diner-y. Also how does the pineapple incorporate with the banana? Do they clash?

    Looks amazing but I agree with other comments on skipping the artificial banana flavor
