Bananas must be extremely popular - Walmart claims it sells more of them than anything else in their store! From an article on Business Insider, below:

Americans consume as many bananas as apples and oranges combined! Although, I’ve heard it said that you can’t really compare them.
Anyway, now -- for the first time ever -- you can make your own banana whipped cream in the privacy of your own home! Even better: it only takes 3 minutes to make your own homemade banana whipped cream, and it will be 100% fresh and 100% without preservatives. And you can regulate the strength of the banana flavor and also the strength of the sugar.
There are only 3 ingredients used to make banana whipped cream: heavy whipping cream, banana extract flavoring (you can use McCormick’s or Watkins’), and confectioners (powdered) sugar. You will probably want to start by using one cup of heavy whipping cream, one teaspoon of either McCormick’s or Watkins’ banana extract flavoring, and one-third of a cup of confectioners (powered) sugar. That will make a very, very sweet banana whipped cream. Kids will love it because it is so heavy on the sugar - most professionals would use only 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar, whereas one third of a cup is equal to 5 tablespoons. If you prefer your banana whipped cream to have a yellow color, simply add about 5 drops of yellow food dye.
There is one thing you can do to make your homemade banana whipped cream great beyond all imagining: add fresh banana slices (or even dried banana chips). Fresh banana slices elevate banana whipped cream from a great treat to a world-class treat! And fresh banana slices change banana whipped cream from a dessert item to a health food!!!!
No one you know has ever had banana whipped cream. After you have made homemade banana whipped cream, you will be the envy of your neighborhood! Entertain all your guests with it. They will think you are a cooking guru, a dessert genius!
The second time you make it, you can increase the amount of banana extract flavoring that you use - to perhaps one and a half times the usual amount or even double the usual amount. Likewise, you can increase or decrease the amount of confectioners (powdered) sugar that you add.
Come up with some imaginative ways to serve your homemade banana whipped cream to your family and guests. Use it as a topping or use it as an independent treat.
Get creative: add some Hershey’s chocolate flavored syrup or some Hershey’s strawberry flavored syrup or some Smucker’s Caramel flavored syrup or some Smucker’s Butterscotch flavored syrup or some Ghirardelli’s sea salt caramel flavored syrup to your banana whipped cream, especially if you added fresh banana slices. Add some chopped walnuts, or chopped almonds, or chopped pecans. Or perhaps add some semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels or some butterscotch chips. Sometimes you might want to add in a York Peppermint Pattie or an Andes Crème de Menthe thin. And for a real treat, add a Pepperidge Farm crème filled Pirouette wafer or a Benton’s crème filled wafer roll (in flavors like: French Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Hazelnut). Add some sprinkles for extra color. Add some American flags or maybe a parasol for decorations.
