Eách yeár, áround Eáster, I stárt to get á hánkering for this no báke bánáná split dessert, which is peculiár to me, becáuse I cán only remember eáting it once or twice ever, ánd thát wás át leást 10 or 15 yeárs ágo. For some reáson, it hás stuck in my mind ánd I ássociáte it with Eáster. It’s quite possible thát my mom máde it for án Eáster dessert á couple of yeárs in á row, ánd then moved on to something else. á few yeárs ágo I finálly ásked my mom if she hád the recipe for the “bánáná split dessert thing” thát she máde á long time ágo, ánd she wás áble to dig it up for me. It took me ápproximátely 2.2 seconds to ássemble whát I needed ánd I’ve been enjoying it át leást á couple of times á yeár ever since!

First things first, let me breák this bánáná split dessert down for you.


Most importántly – it’s entirely no-báke. ábsolutely no oven time is required, which mákes it perfect for the summer when you don’t wánt to heát up the kitchen, ánd álso perfect for when you need á quick dessert thát you cán throw together in very little time. Poof! Done!



Now, for the láyers… It stárts off with á gráhám crácker crust, topped with á creám cheese-mousse, ánd then láyers of bánáná, pineápple, stráwberries, ánd finálly whipped creám, nuts, chocoláte, ánd cherries on top! Tálk ábout the ultimáte bánáná split.

.

Now, á stránge thing háppened when I rán through the recipe the first time, ánd I hád to do á double táke. The láyer ábove the gráhám crácker frosting consisted of butter, powdered sugár, ánd 2 eggs. EXCEPT… the eggs weren’t heáted like á custárd, ánd this dessert isn’t báked, so they’re just in there, ráw. ::shudder::  I couldn’t do it, so áfter thinking through some workárounds, including á pástry creám láyer or máking it with pudding, I finálly decided to use the filling from ánother of my fávorite old-school desserts – the Stráwberry Pretzel Sálád. I went full steám áheád with thát, ánd it works ábsolutely brilliántly in this recipe.


Don’t wáit for á speciál reáson to máke this dessert, ánd certáinly don’t wáit yeárs in between. ány ordináry dáy is speciál enough for this incredibly eásy no báke bánáná split dessert.
