For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. Ensure the butter is properly softened for a smooth buttercream. If concerned about raw eggs, use pasteurized eggs or a cooked meringue buttercream. Garnish with maraschino cherries for an authentic banana split look. Try to use high quality, fresh ingredients for the best outcome.

Jun 10, 2024The 20-minute mixing time for the buttercream seemed excessive, but it really made a difference. The texture was perfect!

Feb 7, 2024My crust was a little crumbly. Next time, I'll try adding a tablespoon or two more melted butter.
