- Nut-free option: Omit the nuts or replace them with crushed cookies or extra sprinkles.
- Party idea: Set up a banana split bar with different ice cream flavors, sauces, fruits, and toppings so everyone can customize their dessert.
- Serve immediately: Banana splits are best assembled just before serving because the ice cream melts quickly.
