The DQ Banana Split — A Showpiece Dessert
There’s nothing quite like the DQ Banana Split. Sticking to the timeless American ice cream tradition, we slice a fresh banana lengthwise and cradle three thick scoops of DQ's legendary soft serve. Every scoop gets its own distinct personality: one is draped in tropical pineapple topping, the next in fresh strawberry, and the last is drenched in decadent hot fudge. The whole creation is crowned with light whipped topping and a maraschino cherry. Explore our other classic treats on The Queen Dairy Menu.
What's on the Banana Split — Topping Breakdown
- Scoop 1 + Pineapple topping — Sweet, tropical, bright
- Scoop 2 + Strawberry topping — Fresh strawberry, lighter sweetness
- Scoop 3 + Hot fudge — Rich, warm chocolate, the anchor of the dessert
- Whipped topping — Light, airy finish across all three scoops
- Maraschino cherry — The classic garnish on top
Banana Split vs. Peanut Buster Parfait
- The Banana Split at $5.69 is more volume and visual impact — comfortably shareable between two people, lower calories at 560 vs. 710.
- The Peanut Buster Parfait at $4.99 is more intense per spoonful — deeper flavor layering, higher calorie density, better for one person who wants something more indulgent.
Why the Banana Split Is Shareable
Designed with three separate soft serve mounds, the Banana Split is practically begging to be shared. Because each scoop features a completely different topping, two people can easily claim their favorite flavor and split the third straight down the middle. It stands out as one of the few DQ desserts that you can effortlessly share on a date or with a friend, without making a mess or fighting over portions.
