BANANA SPLIT LUSH RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup walnut pieces in a single layer and toast for 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Spritz the bottom only of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. In a medium mixing bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs, remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and granulated sugar. Press firmly onto the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden and set. Cool completely. Whip together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, drained pineapple and 1 cup whipped topping. Whip for 2 minutes until fluffy and evenly combined. Spread evenly over the crust. Top with a layer of banana slices. Whip together both boxes of instant white chocolate pudding with 3 cups of cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened but still pourable. Pour over the bananas. Frost the top with the remaining whipped topping. Drizzle with chocolate fudge and garnish with the remaining toasted walnuts and maraschino cherries. Decorate as desired. Chill for at least 4 hours before cutting to allow the layers to set. Yield: 16 servings

TRADITIONAL BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
• Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
• Slice in half longways.
• Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
• Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
• Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
• Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
• Enjoy!
