- 2 tbsp (30 ml) chocolate syrup
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large chunks remain.

- Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
- If desired, garnish with chopped nuts for added crunch and texture.
- Refrigerate the banana split fluff for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and mixture to set.

Notes
- Select ultra-ripe bananas with dark brown spots for maximum sweetness and deeper flavor intensity.
- Avoid overmixing whipped cream to maintain its fluffy, light texture and prevent deflation during folding.
- Use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat whipped topping for a lighter, diabetic-friendly dessert option.
- Drain maraschino cherries and fruits thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the fluff watery.
