This Core Plan version of a banana split is makes a special baked but healthy dessert. Change the flavor by substituting other extracts—such as almond, maple, rum or orange—for the vanilla.

Ingredients

• 1 sprays cooking spray
• 4 large banana(s), ripe, peeled
• 8 oz canned crushed pineapple in juice, drained
• 2 Tbsp McNeil Nutritionals SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener, divided
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cups raspberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place bananas in pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine pineapple, 1 tablespoon of Splenda and cinnamon; pour over bananas. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. (Note: The canned pineapple is already sweet so omit the Splenda if you prefer.)
3. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, combine ricotta, remaining tablespoon of Splenda and vanilla; set aside.
4. Place one baked banana in each of four individual serving bowls and top each with about 2 tablespoons of pineapple sauce and 1/4 cup of ricotta mixture. Top each with 1/4 cup of raspberries. Serve immediately. Yields 1 banana split per serving.
