The hot summer days are fast approaching and it’s getting harder and harder to stand by the sweltering oven. In the summer, I like to avoid turning on the oven as much as possible. “No bake” recipes suddenly become my favorite once the temperate outside reaches 80F degrees. And I know I’m not alone in this. When it’s hot outside, all I want is ice cream. A lot of ice cream. A banana split with fudge and a cherry on top. However, ice cream usually makes me groggy and slow. These are feelings I don’t want when the weather is so nice. I want to feel energized and satisfied.
This “banana split” recipe is wonderful for just that. The fruit is chilled and sweet and the nuts on top are crunchy and add some texture to the bites. And the chocolate hardens on the fruit perfectly! The hot days of summer won’t get you down with this awesome recipe!
