Irish cream coffee is quite easy to prepare and scores high on flavor.

Layer it all with whipped cream and enjoy!

Once done, pour the concoction into a cup and top it all with whipped cream. Sip and enjoy!
Chilled
Banana split
Banana split is quite an easy-to-make decadent dessert.
Begin by peeling bananas and splitting them lengthwise.

Now pour some whipped cream into a piping cone and top the bananas and ice creams with it.
Garnish with nuts and chocolate syrup before you dig in.
