The Yankee Banana Split
This Yankee Banana Split is fun for everyone, and its patriotic colors make it a 4th of July favorite (all that and a cherry on top, literally).

It also has blueberries, strawberries, hot fudge, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries. Red, white and blue? Check. Yummy? Check plus!

The Breakfast Banana Split
The banana split’s health-conscious cousin, the breakfast banana split, includes oatmeal instead of ice cream, even though you still get to use an ice cream scooper to make it.

The Tropical Banana Split
This banana split uses sorbet in place of ice cream (often a low-calorie substitution, depending on the sorbet your choose), and mixes in tropical flavors like kiwi, mango, and toasted coconut. The recipe serves 4, so you’ll get to share the joy of banana splits with three people you think are really special, which now makes you like a sweet-tooth fairy too.
