Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1 (5.1 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (20 oz) can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup of mini marshmallows
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/4 cup of maraschino cherries, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup of chocolate chips or hot fudge sauce (for topping)
Directions:
Start by preparing a large mixing bowl. In it, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the drained pineapple. Stir well until the mixture becomes smooth and consistent.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, mixing until it's fully incorporated. The pudding mixture should now be light and fluffy.
Add the sliced bananas, mini marshmallows, and your choice of nuts (if using). Fold them into the fluffy mixture gently to keep the salad light.
If you'd like a burst of color and extra sweetness, add the chopped maraschino cherries into the mix as well.
Transfer the fluff salad to a serving dish, and top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or sprinkle with chocolate chips for that signature banana split flair.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
