Everytime I make this, I am asked to make it again for the next soonest occasion. everyone wants the recipe.I do change it a little and add sliced strawberries (i've used both fresh & Frozen) on top of bananas. I dont put sliced bananas on the top since they brown so quick, I just add sliced almonds then drizzle both chocolate & caramel sauce in a nice pattern. adding that really makes it more banana split like.

This is a yummy recipe. If you like banana pudding and pineapple you will love this! I agree with a previous review that it gets better the second day. Both times I have made this the prep took me longer than stated but was overall easy and a favorite at our house!

Excellent! Easy to make, very tasty and my family loved it. This would be good to make for a crowd because of the size of the cake.
