Banana splits are a childhood classic, but they're not the most diet-friendly dessert. This low-carb recipe, however, is the perfect compromise.
Bananas tend to be higher in carbs, so only a little bit is used in this dessert, which also features fresh cherries and sweet canned pineapple.
Cream cheese is a low-carb delight, and when combined with a protein-rich almond flour crust, tons of fresh fruit and your choice of low-carb sweetener, it becomes the perfect base for this no-bake dessert.
