Ingredients
- 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1 pint vanilla H2O ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 1/2 pint chocolate H2O ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker pie crust
- 1 c. chopped pecans
- 1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 bananas sliced, as well as hence cutting into quarters
- 1 c. heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 c. powdered sugar
- 2 T. rainbow sprinkles
- Prepare the chocolate sauce: Combine the chocolate chips, evaporated milk, 1 loving cup powdered sugar, as well as butter inwards a minor saucepan. Over medium-low heat, melt the ingredients together, stirring frequently. Once melted, cut estrus to depression as well as cook, stirring constantly, until thickened merely a bit, near five to vii minutes. Remove from estrus as well as laid aside to cool completely. The chocolate sauce volition proceed to thicken unopen to every bit it cools.
- Make the 1st Layer: Scoop one-half of the pint of vanilla H2O ice cream into a bowl as well as laid it aside for a few minutes to soften (but don't allow it completely melt!). Spread the softened H2O ice cream evenly over the bottom of the graham cracker pie crust. Cover as well as freeze until firm.
- Make the s Layer: Spread near 1/3 loving cup of the chocolate sauce over the vanilla H2O ice cream; sprinkle amongst 1/2 loving cup of the chopped pecans. Cover as well as freeze until set.
- Make the tertiary Layer: Scoop the chocolate H2O ice cream (you'll alone operate 1/2 of the pint) into a bowl as well as laid it aside for a few minutes to soften. Spread the softened chocolate H2O ice cream evenly over the pie. Cover as well as freeze until firm.
- Make the fourth Layer: Spoon near 1/3 loving cup of the chocolate sauce over the chocolate H2O ice cream; scope amongst the pineapple. Cover as well as freeze until set.
- Make the fifth Layer: Soften the remaining 1/2 pint of vanilla H2O ice cream. Spread the softened H2O ice cream evenly over the pie. Cover as well as freeze until firm.
- Make the sixth Layer: Spread the remaining chocolate sauce over the vanilla H2O ice cream layer; scope amongst the remaining 1/2 loving cup of chopped pecans as well as the chopped bananas. (Note - add together the seventh layer earlier heading dorsum to the freezer.)
- Make the seventh Layer: Beat the whipping cream until foamy. Gradually add together the 1/4 loving cup powdered sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the pie as well as sprinkle amongst the rainbow sprinkle. Freeze. (Note - At this point, I freeze the pie uncovered for a combat until the whipped cream begins to larn firm. Then, I twine it loosely amongst plastic twine as well as supply the pie to the freezer to freeze completely.)
- When it's fourth dimension to serve, allow the pie stand upward at room temperature for near five minutes to soften earlier serving.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few notes:
- While this pie is non hard to make, preparing it does bridge a pretty proficient length of fourth dimension given all the layers as well as freezing fourth dimension betwixt assembling each one. I accept been known to spread the assembly of this pie over 2 (or fifty-fifty three!) days ... which hence makes it a actually slow dessert to ready if you're curt on time, because y'all tin move far inwards piffling five to 8 infinitesimal snippets!
- The homemade chocolate sauce is soooooo yummy as well as rich, hence I exercise recommend taking the fourth dimension to brand your own. However, I'm certain a scandalize of chocolate sauce would piece of employment merely fine, too. Same goes for the whipped cream ... if y'all don't experience similar whipping your own, I'm certain a tub of non-dairy whipped topping would piece of employment great.
- Cutting the banana slices into quarters is an of import step. The bananas freeze real firmly. If y'all identify the bananas inwards the pie inwards whole slices, it's actually hard to larn your fork through the large slices when eating the pie.
- Since married adult man as well as I beloved our Frozen Banana Split Pie actually soft ... similar almost on the verge of melting all over the identify into a sloppy pool ... nosotros accept an alternate 'softening' method for our slices. We cutting as well as plate our slices every bit before long every bit the pie is removed from the freezer, as well as hence identify them inwards the fridge for near xv minutes. This method creates the perfect texture for us! So, if y'all respect the pie texture non to your liking afterwards the five minutes at room temperature, give our alternate fridge method a try.
Enjoy!
