Yeah, it's unconventional (and maybe even a bit nervy) to put a banana split recipe in here that doesn't call for ice cream. But it's REALLY good. And fun!!!
Ingredients1 small banana
3 tablespoons Cool Whip Free, frozen
2 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry preserves
1 teaspoon semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
DirectionsSlice banana in half, first lengthwise and then widthwise. Place banana pieces in a bowl.
In a separate dish, mix strawberry preserves with 1 tablespoon of hot water to create a strawberry syrup. Pour strawberry syrup over bananas.
Top with Cool Whip Free and then sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Enjoy!
