Make this simple recipe up to 3 days ahead, and keep it frozen until you're ready to serve it. Use firm yellow bananas. You can substitute canned pineapple tidbits for the garnish. To soften ice cream for spreading, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 3/4 cup fat-free chocolate sundae syrup, divided

* 1 (18-ounce) jar strawberry sundae topping
* 1 cup coarsely chopped pineapple
* 5 tablespoons chopped dry-roasted peanuts
* 16 maraschino cherries with stems (optional)
