Banana splits remind me of dating in the ’50s, at least the version I have seen on TV and in movies like Grease with high school students sharing a spoon or straw and enjoying a sweet treat. Life back then sounds a lot simpler than the dating that goes on today, and when I make this dessert for two, I feel like those kids, too.

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Press 1/4 cup of the mixture on the bottom of each of four small rectangular glass dishes. They should be about 6 to 8 inches long.
  2. Top each with a banana half and 1/4 cup of the drained pineapple. Add an even layer of the sliced strawberries.
  3. Spread a layer of whipped topping on top. Slice the remaining banana halves into 1/2-inch chunks. Garnish with additional graham crackers, bananas, pineapple, and strawberry. Serve immediately.
