No Ice Cream Banana Split

This is the most awesome dessert. It has it all. The sweet, the goo, the flavors and the great thing..you don't need a freezer. This is great for a picnic or pot luck. You chill it before you go and it s all ready for the table. As most of my recipes...you can alter to suit your tastes..

NEED:
9 x 13 baking dish **If you want to go smaller..use a pre made graham cracker pie crust and cut the amount of ingredients so they fit an 8 inch pie crust ie 1 box of pudding, one or two banana etc.**graham cracker crumbs
( enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
2 large boxes of instant pudding..Choc / Van. or any you choose
Salted peanuts
1 large tub of Cool Whip or like topping
Chocolate syrup
Strawberry Sundae Topping
Carmel Sundae Topping
3 to 4 nice size bananas

As you can see my the list of ingredients, this is a banana split where pudding takes the place of ice cream.

Follow package instructions and make a crust from the graham cracker crumbs. Just cover the bottom of the pan. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 7 minutes...remove and set a side to cool.
Prepare puddings as directed. Prepare in separate bowls.
Using large spoon randomly drop spoonfuls on the crust. Alternate flavors.
Top pudding with sliced bananas
Evenly coat with a layer of Strawberry topping
Drizzle Choc Syrup and Carmel topping over the the Strawberry topping.
Apply a nice thick layer of Cool Whip
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Cover loosely with plastic wrap
Remove
Sprinkle with peanuts and drizzle with thin lines of Choc. syrup and Carmel topping.
Add cherries if you like.
Serve.

I made this for a potluck for a friends birthday. She is allergic to banana's so I substituted cut up canned peaches. It was great. Allergic to peanuts? Leave them out..or offer them on the side for those who want them. Get creative. There are a lot of pudding flavors available and the sky is the limit on toppings. I have heated peanut butter and drizzled that on. You can also use all sugar free toppings and low fat milk. Make a great treat and cut the calories!

ENJOY!
