How to Make Delicious Desserts Using Fresh Fruits: Dazzling Peach Trifle and Gelatin Banana Split

The only thing better than fresh fruits are desserts made with those same fresh fruits.  Try these delicious fruit desserts to rave reviews from family and friends.  Gelatin Banana Split Desserts use fresh strawberries, bananas, pineapple along with maraschino cherries.  This is a great summertime dessert, although it is also perfect year-round.  This makes a very pretty dessert for parties, even holidays.  The Peach Trifle is not only a delicious dessert, it makes a gorgeous presentation.  Both of these recipes have eye appeal.

GELATIN BANANA SPLIT DESSERT
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 pkg (8 serving size) strawberry OR cherry gelatin
2 cups cold water
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
frozen whipped topping, thawed
sliced bananas
sliced strawberries
pineapple chunks (if using canned, drain very well)
Chopped pecans
halved maraschino cherries, if desired
In a large bowl, place the dry gelatin and add the boiling water. Stir two minutes to be sure all the gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the cold water. Add the ice cream and stir until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl leaving room for the toppings later. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until firm. Before serving, top with the fruits. Pile whipped topping in the center and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Top with some halved maraschino cherries, if desired.
