Banana Split Pie

It's important to start with all ingredients refrigerated or soft frozen! Room temperature ingredients cause the pie to melt more than you'd like.

1 crumb pie crust, graham or shortbread

1 quart vanilla ice cream or fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt

2 bananas, refrigerated

1 pint strawberries, refrigerated

dribbles of chocolate syrup

dribbles of caramel syrup

Slice the bananas into 3/8" coins, and layer on pie crust.

With a large spoon, take shallow scoops out of the vanilla ice cream. (Sometimes ice cream is too hard to scoop easily, and that's when frozen yogurt shines! It's always a bit softer, so you can more easily make your own banana split pie or blizzard.) Place a layer of ice cream covering the banana slices.

Slice and layer the strawberries on the pie.

Cover the strawberries with another thin layer of ice cream.

Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel syrup on top.

Place in the freezer for 15 minutes or more if you started with refrigerated ingredients. Otherwise this pie will need to freeze overnight, and then the strawberries will be frozen solid little bricks. (Strawberries don't take freezing as well as bananas!)

Simple and tasty!
