I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

Taste of summer

With Memorial Day Weekend being the unofficial start of summer, you will want to build this recipe into your weekend plans. It is a bit of a process, but absolutely worth it.



Banana Split Supreme


3/4 cup butter, divided
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
24 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
3 medium firm bananas, cut in 1/2" slices
2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened and divided
1 can crushed pineapple (20 oz,), drained
1 jar maraschino cherries (10 oz.), drained and halved
whipped topping, optional


In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate chips. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter, toss with cookie crumbs. Press into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Freeze for 15 minutes. Arrange banana slices over crust; spread with 1 quart of ice cream. Top with 1 cup of chocolate sauce. Freeze for 1 hour. Refrigerate remaining chocolate sauce. Spread the remaining ice cream over dessert; top with pineapple and cherries. Cover and freeze for several hours or overnight. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Reheat the chocolate sauce. Cut dessert into squares; serve with chocolate sauce and whipped topping if desired.
