I love this recipe! It is fun, delicious and reminds me of my childhood. This is the classic banana split done healthy. This recipe is a must-make!
You can add all the toppings and make it in the round ice cream cake form for a special event or as a dessert. OR – you can dress this recipe down and have it as a guilt free snack cut into squares like our other bites (featured below). Children will love this recipe and you will be able to feed it to them feeling great about it.
I’m so excited to share this seemingly indulgent dessert. This Clean Banana Split Ice Cream Cake is going to be a staple in our house!
This recipe is gluten free, no-bake, vegan, clean, fun and only takes 5 minutes to prep!

DAMY Members – If you leave all topping off these squares and make them with stevia these are a clean snack option at 3 bites per serving. For this recipe (including topping) 1 slice or 3 bites is a treat.
