🍨 Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter (divided)
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 24 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 to 4 bananas, sliced
- 2 quarts vanilla ice cream
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 jar (10 oz) maraschino cherries, drained and halved
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Optional: whipped topping for serving
📋 Instructions
-
Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 1 can evaporated milk, and 24 oz chocolate chips.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil and stir for 8 minutes until smooth and thickened.
- Remove from heat and let the chocolate sauce cool completely. Set aside.
-
Make the Crust:
- Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with 2 cups of crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers (approximately 3/4 cup of crumbs).
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch pan to form a firm crust.
- Freeze the crust for 15 minutes to set.
-
Layer the Dessert:
- Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the chilled crust.
- Spread 1 quart of vanilla ice cream (softened slightly for easier spreading) over the banana slices.
- Pour 1 cup of the prepared chocolate sauce over the ice cream layer.
- Freeze the dessert for one hour to firm up.
- Keep the remaining chocolate sauce refrigerated until ready to use.
-
Add Final Layers:
- After the dessert has been in the freezer for one hour, spread the remaining 1 quart of vanilla ice cream over the top.
- Sprinkle the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the ice cream layer.
- Scatter the halved maraschino cherries and chopped pecans on top.
-
Freeze and Serve:
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for several hours or overnight to ensure it’s fully set.
- When ready to serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Reheat the remaining chocolate sauce gently in the microwave or on the stove until warm and pourable.
- Cut the Banana Split Supreme into squares and serve each piece drizzled with the warm chocolate sauce. Add a dollop of whipped topping if desired.
🍽️ Yield
- This recipe makes approximately 12 to 16 servings, depending on the size of the squares.
