Banana Split Ice Cream Pie
Bananas, ice cream, chocolate fudge sauce, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles and cherries all piled high into a waffle cone crust. It’s the most fun banana split ever!
In my opinion, banana splits are meant to be shared. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, road tripping with family, or out late with friends— you visit a diner, order a big banana split with a bunch of spoons, and dig in.
So what better way to share a banana split at home, than with this ice cream pie?
You can assemble this pie however you like, just so long as you start with the waffle cone crust. It’s an absolute must, like one big delicious waffle cone.
Into that crust you can add sliced bananas, whatever flavors of ice cream you like, and all of your favorite toppings. I kept mine classic— chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream with fudge sauce, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles and cherries.
Other optional toppings include caramel, marshmallow fluff, pineapple, strawberry preserves and pretty much whatever else you can think of. Make it how you want it!
Just when you thought banana splits couldn’t get any more fun, enter this ice cream pie. Your friends and family are going to go nuts!
