Second time around for an old 60’s favorite.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ya know, I see recipes popping up on Pioneer Woman and use to on Paula Deen’s show that my mother was making back in the 50’s and 60’s. And, on Pinterest I’m always seeing “new” recipes that I remember my mother making. I guess the younger viewers are seeing\/testing\/tasting these recipes but some of us who have been around a few decades longer have been enjoying these old family favorites for quite a while.<\/p>\n

Take this Banana Split Dessert; use to be one of my mother’s dessert recipes she enjoyed making for family and friends. When it comes to banana splits all I remember about that ice cream favorite was that when my sister and I would go to a Dairy Queen or ice cream shop we would ask for a banana split but we only wanted the banana, only vanilla ice cream and no pineapple or strawberry toppings. For us it was chocolate all the way; I guess that really wasn’t a banana split.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My mother’s recipe for this Banana Split Dessert didn’t call for strawberries but now that I’m not that picky, I’m going for the whole shebang — bananas, strawberries, pineapple, chocolate and topped with nuts and cherries. Some people call this no baked but I choose to bake my graham cracker crust for about 8 minutes to set it a little more so it isn’t quite so crumbly.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy this recipe if you have had it in the past, give it another try. I would say I haven’t made this dessert in 30 years at least; so I was anxious to give it another try.<\/p>\n
