Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
- 1 ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup sour cream
Add-ins
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 large bananas, peeled and sliced into ½ inch chunks
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- ¾ cup maraschino cherries
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sundae syrup (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the whipped topping (Cool Whip), cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherries, and mini chocolate chips to the base mixture until evenly distributed but not overmixed.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up, enhancing the taste and texture.
- Serve with Garnish: Before serving, drizzle the top of the salad with chocolate sundae syrup for an added touch of sweetness and classic banana split flavor. Serve cold and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This salad is best served chilled to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to become fluffy.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts to make it nut-free.
- For variation, try adding chopped fresh strawberries or other fruits.
- If you prefer a healthier twist, opt for light whipped topping and reduced-fat sour cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
