Banana splits are so classic, Marilyn Monroe probably ate them. I imagine that back in the heyday of diners, you couldn’t do better than a banana split for dessert. Thankfully, the queen of all desserts is gracefully adapting to a new era, just like Madonna. Standard Banana Split Ingredients Vanilla Ice Cream (or Neapolitan) Banana […]
Cream cheese is the dream cheese. You can pretty much add it to any dessert and it does wonders. Cheesecake is the prime example of cream cheese doing its wonderful thing, but sometimes it’s surprising where you can sneak it in to thicken your desserts and balance out the sweetness. Cream cheese recipes are a […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not the biggest chocolate dessert recipe fan. While I know that chocolate is a gift from the gods, it just doesn’t do much for me.

One year ago today, the beloved Banana Split Lasagna was born and what a wonderful year it has been! This was my very first foray into our test kitchen and, I have to admit, I was scared that this dessert wouldn’t turn out. I’m a pro at eating and baking cookies, sure, but the Banana […]
