  • Total Time: 35 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 ¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 ¾ cups pineapple chunks
  • 2 bananas, peeled and sliced into ½ inch chunks
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • ¾ cup maraschino cherries
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Garnish

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate sundae syrup (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the thawed Cool Whip, cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream until smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherries, and mini chocolate chips until everything is combined evenly without crushing the fruit.
  3. Chill the Fluff: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the fluff to set slightly.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, drizzle the top with chocolate sundae syrup as desired. Serve the Banana Split Fluff cold for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing for the best texture.
  • Use ripe bananas but handle gently to avoid mashing.
  • Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted for nut allergies.
  • This recipe is best served within the same day for freshness.
  • Feel free to add extra chocolate chips or cherries on top for an enhanced presentation.
