  4. 4

    **Assemble the Sundae:** In a large sundae glass or bowl, start with a layer of the crushed waffle cone pieces.

  5. 5

    Next, add a layer of sliced bananas over the waffle pieces.

  6. 6

    Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the bananas.

  7. 7

    Generously drizzle a portion of the chilled dragon fruit sauce over the ice cream. Let it swirl down the sides.

  8. 8

    Add another layer of sliced bananas, followed by the remaining 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.

  9. 9

    Drizzle more dragon fruit sauce on top, letting it create a vibrant, chaotic swirl.

  10. 10

    Finish with a generous swirl of whipped cream, an explosion of rainbow sprinkles, and if desired, a maraschino cherry on top.
