How to Make Banana Split Fluff

Prepare the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and well combined. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken up.
Fold in the Whipped Topping: Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) until everything is smooth and fluffy.
Add the Fruits and Mix-ins: Stir in the sliced bananas, mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and chocolate chips. If you’re using cherries and nuts, add those in as well.
Chill: Transfer the mixture into a large serving bowl or individual cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors blend together and the fluff to set.
