Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 1 1/4 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Mix-Ins
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 3/4 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 bananas (peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch chunks)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 3/4 cup maraschino cherries
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Topping
- 1–2 tbsp chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to thoroughly combine the thawed Cool Whip, cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherries, and mini chocolate chips with a spatula, mixing carefully until all ingredients are evenly distributed without crushing the fruit.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the banana split fluff for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
- Add Chocolate Syrup and Serve: Before serving, drizzle the top of the fluff salad with 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to enhance the classic banana split flavor. Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert.

- This dessert is best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness and texture.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted to accommodate nut allergies.
- For a more festive presentation, serve in individual cups or layered parfait glasses.
