This is another sort-of-cheating recipe, because it's not quite a banana split, but I'm including it anyway, because it's neat. (Also it's my blog and I can.) I received it from one of my aunts; it was a sort of bridal shower "favor." Everyone was asked to bring a recipe for the bride-to-be, and this was one of the ones she gave me.

Lickety-Split Banana Split Pie

1 graham cracker crust

2 small bananas

1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

hot fudge sauce, unheated

pineapple preserves

chopped nuts

whipped topping

maraschino cherries

Directions: Slice bananas into the bottom of the crust. Spoon softened ice cream on top and freeze for 2 hours. Top with hot fudge, pineapple, whipped cream, chopped nuts and maraschino cherries.
