I’ve enjoyed every puff pastry dessert I’ve tried, but this Puff Pastry Banana Split might be my all-time favorite! After tasting this flaky puff pastry version filled with warm chocolate hazelnut spread and fresh raspberries, I’m not sure I can ever go back to a regular banana split. I topped mine with powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, ice cream, and strawberries. It was SO delicious! To make it extra special for Valentine’s Day or a Galentine’s party, I cut the strawberries into heart shapes.
