Banana split pie! Yum!! Ok, I need another recipe. LOL I rarely make
deserts but now these ideas are sounding just too good. Plus most of
them can be frozen in single servings easily so if you really feel like
something sweet, it's handy.

Thanks. I couldn't really taste pineapple in it though. And I cut the
raisins down to half cup, and tried running them through the FP to chop
them but that didn't really work out for some reason. The recipe said
to make 3 layers but I'm glad I didn't try because of the denseness, and
there wouldn't have been enough frosting.

I saw pictures with the nuts around the side but opted not to do that
this time.

I really have to thank SF for this recipe. It is a keeper and I used up
most of the carrots but have enough left to try some of the more savory
recipes offered by others here.
