  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>I created this recipe as an easy, grown up. alternative to the traditional banana split.  The combination of mocha java ice cream, bananas and the chopped chocolate espresso beans is delicious.  For an added twist, drizzle a little Baileys Irish Cream over the top of the ice cream before adding the fudge sauce.</p>]]>
