  1. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the chocolate ice cream, strawberry sauce over the strawberry ice cream, and pineapple sauce over the vanilla ice cream.
  2. Top each scoop with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions

  • Extra Decadent: Add crushed Oreos, brownie chunks, or peanut butter drizzle.
  • Healthier Option: Use Greek yogurt instead of ice cream and top with granola and fresh fruit.
  • Kid-Friendly Fun: Let kids build their own Banana Split with a topping bar!

Notes

  • Want a tropical twist? Use coconut ice cream, mango, and toasted coconut flakes.
  • Dairy-free? Swap in non-dairy ice cream and coconut whipped cream.
  • Boozy version? Drizzle with Kahlúa or Baileys for an adults-only treat!
