Chocolate Banana-Split Pie
Description
This Chocolate Banana-Split Pie is a refreshing twist on the classic sundae, transformed into a shareable frozen pie. The base consists of a simple yet sturdy graham cracker crust held together with chocolate syrup. The filling is made from nonfat chocolate ice milk or frozen yogurt, which provides a light, creamy texture without being overly heavy. Topped with fresh banana slices arranged in a circle, a dollop of whipped topping, and a final drizzle of rich chocolate syrup, this dessert captures all the nostalgic flavors of a banana split in a portable format. It is perfect for summer barbecues, family gatherings, or as a sweet treat on a hot day. The make-ahead nature allows the pie to set firmly, making slicing and serving easy and elegant.Ingredients
Directions
-
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
-
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and mix well with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate using the back of a spoon to form an even crust.
-
Set the prepared crust aside while you prepare the filling.
-
Using an electric mixer on medium speed or a food processor, beat the frozen chocolate nonfat ice milk or frozen nonfat yogurt until it is smooth and creamy.
-
Carefully spread the smoothed ice milk mixture over the graham cracker crust using a spatula.
-
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
-
When ready to serve, peel the bananas and slice them into rounds.
-
Arrange the banana slices in a decorative circle over the frozen ice milk layer.
-
Spread Cool Whip or your preferred whipped topping over the bananas.
-
Drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup evenly over the whipped topping and bananas just before serving.
