These Peanut Butter and Chocolate Banana Splits are an insanely decadent dessert for ice cream lovers who like to take things to the extreme!
Prepare to have your taste buds tempted with this delicious ice cream treat! It combines all my favourite things in one spectacular banana split.
I'm obsessed with dessert recipes but my all time favourite dessert category has to be ice cream recipes. My dad was the same way. I must have inherited his love of ice cream.
Making your own ice cream is pretty easy. Personally, I like making my own because I can add whatever I like to it. One of my favourites is my chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.
I'm a huge chocolate lover. Honestly, I can't get enough of it. So, I'm always thinking of ways to incorporate it in more recipes.
Since I'm also an ice cream fanatic, I really enjoy making chocolate ice cream variations. If I'm being honest, I could eat chocolate ice cream every day.
This is a bit of an over top dessert recipe. Which I'm all about. More is more tends to be my motto in life.
I love a great banana split so it occurred to me to make "banana" banana split. And what goes better with bananas? Chocolate and peanut butter of course.
So, I got a tad carried away and combined ALL THE THINGS to make this luscious dessert. Bananas, chocolate and peanut butter for the win!
You're welcome!

Oh my, that looks decadent. I just popped on here to say hi and that I'm so sad I couldn't be a part of the group this week. We still don't have Internet and the data usage on the iPad is killing me when I do anything online. Can't wait to get the issue fixed.
Kim Beaulieu
Awe thanks so much Christiane. I wish you had joined us but I totally understand. My internet was done for almost a week and I about freaked out. So I feel for you.

Thanks. I need to get back over to the states to trader joes for the really mini ones. They are the bomb and I wish I could get them here.

This is a banana split kicked up several levels, I'd say! Incredibly good looking. I haven't had one of these in ages - maybe I should before the summer is over? I mean it's Ice Cream Week!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks John. I love a good banana split. I get a hankering every now and then. I can never say no to a good split.

Banana extract? Interesting. I love the idea of making banana splits with banana ice cream. It's like a duh moment 😀
Kim Beaulieu
I know right. It's fabulous. And no brown bananas to deal with. Many levels of banana flavour on this one. So good.
