Banana Splits are meant to be enjoyed on crispbread! A fluffy cheesecake cloud piled high with sliced bananas, fudge and caramel topping, chopped pecans and a jolly red maraschino cherry to finish it off prettily. These are completely irresistible and perfect for a party platter!
Oh boy, have I got a treat in store for you today! Who says a banana split needs to be eaten in a bowl? Not me! Today’s recipe is proof that enjoying delicious dessert classics creatively is always a win!
I remember, growing up, our New Year’s Eve celebrations consisted of lots of appetizers and pizza with banana splits to top off the evening before we started playing games. It’s funny, because I don’t recall ever eating an ice cream split unless it was at this particular annual celebration. I’m not sure why, because something that yummy should be devoured as often as possible. 🙂
It could have been because my parents felt like something this exceptional needed to be reserved for just such a special occasion.
I, however, take a completely different stance on the topic. Banana splits for breakfast, lunch and dinner is my motto!
These dessert crackers are the perfect way to satisfy that sweet tooth craving with a little less guilt. 🙂
Wasa Multi Grain crisp bread creates the perfect canvas for our gorgeous masterpiece. These thick crisp slices are full of four wholesome grains (rye, wheat, oats and barley), which add a delicious texture and flavor to each crunchy bite.
I found mine at Smith’s on the cookies and crackers aisle. Be sure to look for Rosemary & Sea Salt Wasa Thins and Sesame & Sea Salt Wasa Thins at your local Kroger or Kroger banner store too! They’re low on calories, oven-baked for a light, delicate crunch, and packed with whole grains!
Wasa crisp bread is a low calorie way to snack that’s high in fiber, kosher, and doesn’t contain preservatives. So basically there’s no reason we shouldn’t be contentedly munching on these banana split-topped dessert crackers!
Talk about an impressive potluck offering! These will disappear quickly no matter the significant occasion or futile excuse you dream up to serve them. 🙂 I won’t blame you for making a midnight snack of them while binge watching that favorite television show. Heck, I’d even commend you for indulging after a crazy, dramatic morning of getting the kids off to school (hey, it happens), or even whipping one up as a celebratory gesture for making it through a long week. This is total pat-yourself-on-the-back food!
All it takes are a few simple ingredients and your taste buds are on their way to a very delightful experience!
Ingredients
Method
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar. Fold in whipped topping until fluffy. Spread mixture onto Wasa crackers, top with banana slices, then drizzle with chocolate and caramel topping. Sprinkle with pecans and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
I just love simple desserts that look fancy and like you made a big fuss over putting them together! This is definitely one of those confections that is easy on the eyes and oh-so incredible on the palate.
These would be perfect for game time and holiday parties! But, no matter where these beauties make their grand appearance, they’re sure to be a hit! Where would you serve these yummies? I’d love to hear in the comments section!
