Banana Split Ice Cream in a Jar #SundaySupper

June 23, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 52 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Wow, Sunday already, time is going way to quick!!!  Today for #SundaySupper we are sharing recipes inspired by the Desserts In Jars cookbook by Shaina Olmanson.  This cookbook is pretty cool and has so many great ideas in it from cupcakes baked in mason jars, to pancakes to cheesecake, pies and mousse.  Everything in this cookbook looks delicious!  I swear I could eat everything in the whole book!!  The Desserts in Jar cookbook inspired me to make today’s healthy, good for you Banana Split Ice Cream.

Banana Split Ice Cream in a Jar

This was such a fun dessert to make.  I just love using Mason Jars for desserts, treats and even meals.  I don’t think I use them often enough, but I think that will change, just wait and see.  They are just so cute and remind me of something you would get in the 1950’s, kind of retro.  My Husband thinks it’s crazy of how many Mason Jars I have, but he didn’t complain when I handed him today’s dessert!!!

Banana Split Ice Cream in a Jar


My Banana Split Ice Cream is all natural, no sugar added!  I used frozen fruit and blended it in my food processor until it was ice cream consistency.  The fruit I used was banana, strawberry and pineapple.  I topped my dessert with some of my homemade sugar free chocolate syrup, TruWhip Whip Cream, maraschino cherry, after all a banana split can’t be a banana split with out the cherry and some chopped peanuts.  It was perfect!!!

The dessert is so quick to make too!  I think the whole thing took me maybe 10 minutes.  You’ll have to forgive the photos, I had to go quick with photographing because frozen treats melt pretty fast, especially when its warm out.  This dessert is so refreshing and is perfect for eating on a hot summers day, while sitting on a swing on the front porch.  Ok, I don’t have a swing on my porch, well I don’t even have a porch, but it is a nice idea.  Plus this dessert is perfect to give to kids.  You won’t have to feel bad about them eating it!!  After all it’s 100% real fruit!!!

    Jennifer, thanks for considering both my taste buds AND my waistline with this delicious yet healthy dessert. Who knew a banana split could be this healthy! I’m totally late coming onto the jar bandwagon. I bought two to use in this week’s #SS and now I want to buy more. They’re just so darn cute! And weirdly enough, things just taste better when it’s spooned out of a jar.

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾 S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I created Sully’s Garden to keep his memory alive—to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. 🌿💙

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. 🌈🐾

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. ❤️

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋
