Growing up, my mom used to make banana splits as a special treat. I hadn’t had one in forever, so I decided to put my spin on the recipe. I have learned over the years that trying to make something like mom did doesn’t really work- it is never just right! But putting my own spin on the recipe is so much fun!

Sundae glasses are always so much easier to eat out of for me- much less spilling happens! Maybe I am just messy, but this was my first change, making a banana split into a banana split sundae!

The next thing I wanted to change was the fruit. Bananas are great, but summer means there is a lot of fresh fruit readily available and that the grill is always on! So I sprinkled strawberries with Spoonable Truvia and the bananas with Brown Sugar Blend Truvia and threw them on the grill with well drained pineapple. Grilling fruit really brings out the flavor, and the caramelized sugars made the bananas the highlight of the dessert!

Tip: Grill the bananas whole so they don’t fall through the cracks in the grill! And put the strawberries on a skewer- it makes them much easier to turn over!

Make sure that you let the fruit cool completely before assembling your sundae- otherwise the ice cream will be a melty mess! Once the fruit is cool, cut it into bite sized pieces.

It is time to assemble! In your sundae glass add ice cream, then pineapple, another scoop of ice cream, strawberries, and a final scoop of ice cream! Add hot fudge and top with whipped cream, a cherry, and half of a banana! It doesn’t get much better than that!
