Description

Enjoy a creamy and fruity Banana Split Fluff Dessert featuring ripe bananas, crushed pineapple, and fluffy whipped topping. Layered with chocolate syrup and topped with maraschino cherries, this delightful treat is perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. This makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla yogurt and whipped topping. Use a spatula to gently fold them together until they are well blended. This will create a creamy base for your fluff dessert.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate.
  4. Gently fold in the sliced bananas, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Add the drained crushed pineapple, squeezing out any excess juice to prevent the fluff from becoming too watery. Fold it in carefully.
  6. Toss in the mini marshmallows and fold them in gently.
  7. If using walnuts, chop them into small pieces and add to the mixture, folding them in.
  8. If desired, add the shredded coconut and mix gently.
  9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to set.
  10. After chilling, scoop the mixture into prepared serving dishes, starting with a generous scoop at the bottom.
  11. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the first layer of fluff.
  12. Add another layer of fluff on top of the chocolate syrup and repeat until the dishes are filled, leaving space for toppings.
  13. Drizzle more chocolate syrup over the top of each dessert.
  14. Top each serving with a maraschino cherry and sprinkle with any leftover walnuts or shredded coconut.
  15. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours before serving. This dessert is perfect for make-ahead occasions. Consider adding whipped cream, sliced strawberries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
