Notes

RECIPE VARIATIONS
The best thing about a homemade banana split is that you can customize it so it’s exactly how you like it! So, feel free to make swaps and get creative with the toppings. Here are some ideas you might like!
  • Ice Cream: So many options! The skies the limit here, and there are no rules. Love cookies and creamcake batter, or cookie dough ice cream? Go ahead and add them to your split. Sometimes we use rainbow ice cream, which the kiddos LOVE!
  • Sauces: Any fruit sauces will work – sometimes I switch the strawberry for blueberry sauce! Or use just one sauce that you really love, like hot fudge or caramel sauce, and skip the others.
  • Nuts: If you don’t like them you can leave them out.
Pro Tip: For parties, set up a Banana Split Bar for your guests! Use my build your own sundae bar as a guide and let everyone build their own special banana split.
