A lot of these recipes turn the banana split into something that can be made ahead and kept in the freezer or fridge instead of assembled bowl by bowl. Others take the flavor combination somewhere new entirely, like a breakfast dish or a drink.
The Chocolate Banana Split Cake Recipe and the Banana Split Brownies Made from Scratch both bring the flavor into baked form, while the Banana Split Martini turns it into a dessert cocktail. Popsicles, pies, and a cheesecake salad round out the rest of the list.

Top Tips
- Slice bananas right before serving. Bananas start to brown quickly once cut, so wait until a dessert or drink is ready to go before slicing them.
- Toast nuts before adding them. A quick toast brings out more flavor in chopped peanuts or walnuts than adding them straight from the bag.
- Chill bowls or glasses ahead of time. A cold bowl or glass helps a frozen dessert or a milkshake style drink hold its texture longer.
- Let baked layers cool completely before adding toppings. Whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate sauce can melt or slide off a cake or brownie that's still warm.
- Freeze layered desserts on a flat surface. Keeping a pan level in the freezer helps a no-bake cake or pie set evenly instead of sliding to one side.
