Ice cream is one of my favorite aspects of summer. Not the regular store-bought ice cream that you can get anytime, but that wonderfully creamy, smooth soft-serve ice cream. And what's the best use for that stuff? Banana Splits!
Summer is almost here in my part of the world, but this is a go-to dessert that you can make anytime, and it'll transport you right back to a picnic table at the park!
What you'll need:
- 1 graham cracker pie crust (or make your own, but for this recipe it's not overly important)
- 3oz cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) can of crushed pineapple
- 2 bananas
- 1 (6 oz) box white chocolate or vanilla pudding mix
- 8 oz whipped cream
- 10 strawberries
- 4 oz pecans (or your favorite nuts), rough chopped
In a bowl or stand mixer, whip cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar until completely incorporated, then mix on high until light and fluffy. Spread evenly into crust.Completely drain pineapple, blot with paper towel, and spread evenly over cream cheese mixture.
Prepare pudding as per package directions, and pour over pineapple.
Slice strawberries and bananas, and layer them on top of the pudding.
Spread whipped cream over entire pie.
Garnish with rough-chopped pecans.
Keep refrigerated until service. Serves 8.
