Banana splits are one of the classic desserts that are never going out of style. There’s not one clear recipe for this sweet treat—it all comes down to your own creativity. Start experimenting with different toppings and flavors and make your banana split as sweet as it gets in three short steps.

Flavor Combos

When it comes to different banana split flavors, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberries are timeless classics, but nothing’s stopping you from trying other combos. Experiment with other ice cream flavors of your choice and consider dairy-free options to make a plant-based banana split.

Topping Bonanza

The sky’s the limit when it comes to toppings you’re going to use. Spread your wings and try all sorts of different sauces, from hot fudge to melted peanut butter. If you’re trying to keep your banana split on the healthier side, give sliced fruits and chopped nuts a try. You can also make things more fun with rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips.

Serving Options

Banana splits are usually served in a long, shallow dish, but you don’t need one to make it look good. You can also serve it on a standard plate or bowl and slice the fruit if it doesn’t fit. Making a banana split bar is also an option if you’re having guests over and it allows everyone to make their own perfect banana split.
