sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = menu.insert(sundaes({}))

You're pretty close, but you need join the sundaes by a comma and space first then use the format() function to put the list of sundaes into the menu string.

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."

# Join list of sundaes by comma and a space
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

# insert joined sundaes into {} of the menu variable
menu = menu.format(display_menu)
