Make a Banana Split Pie for Your Summer Gathering

Put a spin on one of summer’s favorite desserts โ€“ banana split! I love this recipe because it’s (a) easy (b) delicious and (c) so cute! Any excuse to add sprinkles to a dessert is a must in my book. This banana split pie dessert recipe is also very customizable to your family’s favorite flavors. Bring it to a picnic or your next summer party, and you’ll hear rave reviews!

I decided to take all my favorite parts of a banana split and create a pie recipe. I love strawberry topping (I opted for fresh strawberries), hot fudge sauce, ice cream, sliced bananas, and of course โ€“ a cherry on top!

To customize this recipe, swap out the vanilla ice cream for your favorite flavor or add in an extra layer of strawberry or chocolate ice cream for a double-decker banana split pie! No matter what flavors you use, it’s sure to be a summer hit!
