Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas, sliced
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub of whipped topping)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Maraschino cherries for garnish
Directions:
Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream (or whipped topping), sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and fluffy.
Add the Fruit and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the sliced bananas, drained crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows. Stir to combine until everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Add Nuts and Chocolate: For added crunch and flavor, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans (if using), and sprinkle in the chocolate chips. Mix gently to incorporate.
Chill and Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and the fluff to set to its perfect creamy consistency.
Serve: Just before serving, garnish the top with additional chocolate chips and maraschino cherries. Serve chilled and enjoy the delicious fruity and creamy textures!
