Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Fruit: Start by slicing the bananas into bite-sized pieces. Drain the crushed pineapple to remove excess liquid, and cut the maraschino cherries in half.
Mix the Creamy Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whipped topping, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine the Ingredients: Gently fold the sliced bananas, drained pineapple, halved cherries, and mini marshmallows into the creamy base. Be careful not to mash the fruit too much. If you're adding walnuts, fold them in at this stage.
Chill the Fluff: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the banana split fluff in bowls or individual cups. Garnish with extra cherries or nuts if desired.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Tip: For an extra touch of fun, serve the fluff in small parfait glasses or cups for individual portions. Garnish with a cherry on top or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a classic banana split touch.
Storing Tip: Banana Split Fluff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, for the freshest flavor, it's best to serve it within 24 hours.
Make Ahead Tip: This dessert can be made a day in advance and refrigerated overnight, making it perfect for parties or gatherings.
