Make Like a Banana and Split Cake

Submitted by SweetsLady

"My husband and dad love this! When my mom or I make it, they are fighting over it. They don't want to share. :) This is quite rich, so I only make for special occasions. You could also add some chocolate syrup and strawberries for something different."

"Made half the recipe and since these were not to be baked, I layered them in individual serving dishes which made them not messy at all. These are wonderful tasting and we all enjoyed them after a simple meal." Made for the Beverage Tag, Cupid's Choice.

Messy but good.

This was a crazy dessert all around, but in a good way. We omitted the cherries as we were out of them. The different textures were awesome to our mouths. Although a tad sweet, it had a good flavor blend. Your instructions to spoon it out are correct, as we tried to pie slice it out, and it got messy and fell apart easily. Our tastebuds did not seem to mind this however. We would suggest layering this in parfait glasses as individual servings. Nice job S/L. Thanks for sharing. -Bird-

I like this better than banana split dessert made with ice cream as this one is great any time of year. It is SO......delicious and SO....easy to prepare. People will be begging you for more and others will want your recipe.
