There is nothing quite like a classic banana split to bring out that childhood nostalgia, but we’ve given this diner staple a modern, high-quality upgrade. By replacing traditional nuts or sprinkles with crushed MASA Churro, you add a warm, stone-ground cinnamon crunch that perfectly complements the melting ice cream and fresh fruit. This dessert is all about the balance of textures - creamy, cold, and crisp - made with real ingredients and zero seed oils. It’s a decadent, shareable treat that proves the best classics are even better with a little extra crunch.
Start by crushing the MASA Churro into small, uniform pieces using your hands or a food processor. Finely chop the fresh strawberries and pineapple so they are ready for layering.
Arrange the sliced bananas in a traditional long dish or a wide bowl. Place a generous scoop (or two!) of the strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream along the center.
To keep things classic, top the strawberry ice cream with your fresh strawberries, drizzle the melted chocolate over the chocolate ice cream, and finish the vanilla scoop with the chopped pineapple.
Add a cloud of whipped cream and a cherry to each scoop.
Sprinkle the crushed MASA Churro generously over the entire dish. Serve immediately while the ice cream is cold and the chips are perfectly crisp!
