A Banana Split Fluff Salad is a delightful dessert or side dish that combines the flavors of a classic banana split with the creamy texture of a fruit salad. It’s a popular dish for picnics, potlucks, or as a sweet treat for gatherings. Here are the details for making a Banana Split Fluff Salad:

Ingredients:

1. Bananas: You’ll need ripe bananas, as they provide the base flavor for the salad.
2. Crushed Pineapple: Canned crushed pineapple is commonly used. Make sure to drain the excess juice.
3. Maraschino Cherries: These add a pop of color and sweetness to the salad. You can either chop them or leave them whole.
4. Mini Marshmallows: Marshmallows add a fluffy texture and sweetness to the salad.
5. Chopped Nuts: Typically, chopped walnuts or pecans are used. They add a nice crunch to the dish.
6. Whipped Topping: A tub of whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, is used to make the salad creamy and luscious.
7. Chocolate Chips: Some recipes include mini chocolate chips to mimic the chocolate sauce of a banana split.
8. Optional: Crushed Graham Crackers or Waffle Cones: These can be added for a hint of the classic ice cream cone flavor.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and slicing the bananas into rounds. Drain the crushed pineapple and cherries. Chop the nuts if they’re not pre-chopped.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the sliced bananas, crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts. Be careful not to mash the bananas.
3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Add the tub of whipped topping to the fruit mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined. The whipped topping should coat all the ingredients and make the salad creamy.
4. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you want to include chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top and fold them in as well.
5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to set.
6. Serve: Before serving, you can garnish with additional cherries, chopped nuts, and, if desired, crushed graham crackers or crumbled waffle cones for added texture and a nod to the classic banana split presentation.
7. Enjoy: Serve the Banana Split Fluff Salad as a dessert or side dish at your next gathering, and watch it disappear quickly!

This delightful dessert combines the nostalgic flavors of a banana split with the convenience of a salad. It’s a sweet and creamy treat that’s sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

Is it just me, or has everyone else noticed that sourdough recipes seem to be popping up everywhere? I’ve tried three times to start sourdough dough, and every time it has been a disastrous failure. (The frigid weather was my excuse, I said.)

Make fresh bread in little time at all with this simple recipe that doesn’t need for starter.

What you need:

Flour, bread or all-purpose, 450 g fluid ounces

24 milliliters of quick yeast

1.5 cups of water heated to 110 to 115 degrees

1/4 cup honey (optional)

salt, half a teaspoon

Instructions:

Whisk together the yeast, honey, and water. Before setting aside for 5 minutes, mix thoroughly and cover with a moist towel or cloth.

Mash the yeast mixture with the flour and salt.

Knead for two or three minutes after mixing well with a wooden spoon. (Hint: to keep the mixture from sticking, moisten your hands.)

In a warm spot, let the mixture to settle for two hours. My microwave is what I use.

When the two hours are up, stretch and fold! I perform this exercise three times every half an hour.

To shape the dough, set it on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. Roll the dough into a ball and set it in a basin or bread basket to rise. (Hint: I put in an hour of rising time while my Dutch oven or oven preheats.)

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat your Dutch oven for half an hour once the oven is prepared. Just five minutes before you want to heat up your Dutch oven. On a sheet of parchment paper, arrange your bread and score it along the edges.

After the Dutch oven has heated up, add the bread. (Hint: add more crunch to the crust by placing an ice cube to generate steam.) Cook for 30 minutes with the lid on and 15 minutes without.

After letting it cool, savor it!
