Welcome to the first banana-flavored recipe on this site! As I mentioned in my guide to low carb fruit, one medium banana contains 27g net carbs  - making it definitely something we should NOT be eating on a low carb diet. 

But I've become a huge fan of Simply Delish, who offer a range of jel desserts and instant pudding mixes - including banana flavor! So I decided to make a fluff-style dessert with cream cheese, but then I went one stage further and decided to make it into a low carb version of a banana split!

So check out Simply Delish - the pudding mixes are also available in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla - and very reasonably priced!

How to Make a Low Carb Banana Split Fluff

In a stand mixer bowl, add room-temperature cream cheese, and half a cup of heavy cream.  Beat until the mixture is smooth. Add in some water and more cream, then beat again to combine. Sprinkle a packet of Simply Delish Banana Flavor Instant Pudding into the mixer bowl.

Next, beat until the mixture starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes. Then it's time to get the toppings and mix-ins ready! Here are my top low carb suggestions:

• Low carb chocolate chips
• Strawberry sauce (make your own or buy ChocZero)
• Keto sprinkles
• Unsweetened flaked coconut or toasted coconut chips
• Low carb marshmallows available from Amazon
• Chocolate sauce (make your own or buy ChocZero)
• Fresh raspberries or chopped strawberries
• Low carb marshmallow fluff
• Chopped nuts
• Low Carb Hot Fudge Sauce
• Crushed Low Carb Meringues
• Crumbled low carb cookies
• Caramel sauce (make your own or buy ChocZero)
• Peanut butter or Sugar Free Peanut Butter Candy 
• Whipped cream
• Sugar free chocolate hazelnut spread

How's that for inspiration?!? I started with mini chocolate chips which I mixed into the fluff for a great textural contrast.

I then transferred the fluff to a bowl and topped it with chopped strawberries and nuts.

Alternatively, you could set all the mix-ins and toppings out for people to add their own!
