Description
Banana Split Fluff is a no-bake dessert that combines the flavors of a classic banana split—banana pudding, whipped topping, fruits, marshmallows, and chocolate—in a creamy, spoonable form perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Maraschino cherries for topping
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, sprinkles, extra chopped candy or chocolate pieces
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple, chopped strawberries, and sliced bananas.
- If using, add the chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, top with maraschino cherries and any additional desired toppings like whipped cream or sprinkles.
Notes
- Slice bananas just before mixing to reduce browning.
- Use lemon juice on bananas to further slow browning if needed.
- Best consumed within 3 days; bananas may brown over time.
- Fresh whipped cream can be used instead of whipped topping.
- Not suitable for freezing due to texture changes.
