That’s a banana split trifle skinny-style made easy with Cool Whip, strawberries, bananas, chocolate fudge, sprinkles and marschino cherries.
Banana Split Trifle
Of course after I made this I was told that a banana split does not contain strawberries, well if we are going to get nit-picky, a classic banana split also does not contain Cool Whip; rather its main body as we all know is vanilla ice cream.
Banana Split Bites ~ A classic ice cream dessert gets mini for some bite size fun. And yes, there is actually a tiny scoop of ice cream tucked inside and underneath the whip cream of those little darlings.
Banana Split Mini Bites
For once I made something mini for portion control and not just for the cute factor. My little guy had some friends over the other day and of course with a mom who is a baker, the expectation is dessert will not only be good but it will be fun. And I was asked, by friend Caroline, not to let her boys eat too much dessert.
Keeping all things in mind what I served is what you see here. It was a hit!
Here’s what wasn’t a hit and what I learned.
Impromptu play dates with four kid’s ages 3-5 year olds after a full work day –not a good idea.
Know in advance what other kids will and won’t eat. Hungry kids are cranky kids and some cranky kids bite; so no that is not a new tattoo I’m sporting on my arm.
Luckily, dessert made all things right. The banana split mini bites were fun and having two each seemed to be just enough for each kid.
