Instructions
Begin this delightful creation by taking a large mixing bowl. Combine the instant banana pudding mix with the crushed pineapple in juice. Mix it all together until the powder dissolves and the pudding thickens, creating a lovely base.
Next, gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a rubber spatula. Take care to combine it well, ensuring the mixture is nice and fluffy.
Now it’s time for the wonderful fruits and textures. Add in the sliced bananas, chopped strawberries, mini marshmallows, the drained maraschino cherries, delicious semisweet chocolate chips, and your choice of nuts. Fold everything together gently until all the colorful ingredients are well coated in the banana pudding cream mixture.
To let those flavors mingle beautifully, chill your creation in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. This waiting time will have your Banana Split Fluff setting up nicely.
When you’re ready to serve, pile on more chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and a few more cherries to make it even more appealing. Top it all off with some whipped cream and delightful sprinkles if you’d like. Serve it chilled and savor the deliciousness
