Every year, at the end of Summer I make a pilgrimage to Dairy Queen to get a Banana Split. It’s become a tradition. It’s one of my favorite treats as the combination of ice cream, chocolate, bananas, whipped cream and nuts just sends me to heaven. I’ve also started a little ritual of saving the Maraschino cherry For the very end. So when I saw this amazing recipe for a simple Banana Split dessert recipe I could make at home I saved it to my Pinterest dessert board immediately.

Betty of Betty’s Kitchen shows how easy it is to whip up a wonderfully delicious banana split quickly. I lover her idea of taking Neapolitan ice cream and slicing it up and layering it on a bed of bananas. I wondered how it would come out but when I finally saw her banana split on the plate I was yelling “Get in My Belly!”. Check out her video below:

Here’s What You’ll Need:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 bananas, peeled and sliced
½ gallon Neapolitan ice cream
½ cup pecans pieces
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
12-ounce can evaporated milk
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8-ounce to 12-ounce carton Cool Whip (You may substitute whipped cream topping.)
¼ cup additional pecan pieces
3 stemmed maraschino cherries
