How to Make Banana Split Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using a homemade crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, prick the bottom all over with a fork, and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Let the crust cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
  5. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  7. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Gently fold the banana mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  9. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  10. Top with chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries.
  11. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
