No bake banana split dessert

This is my favorite dessert! My sister in law’s step mother (that’s a mouthful) makes it for me. Only me. No one else. I feel special :wink:
I managed to weasel the recipe from her, let’s go!

I took my leftover pineapple juice (about a half cup) and mixed it with 2 oz. Crown Royal Vanilla and garnished with cherry juice and a cherry. Takes like pineapple upside down cane! Delish!
