231,261 PointsThe challenge gives you some pretty good hints itself, where it says: "Use .split() to break the available string apart on the semi-colons (;). Assign this to a new variable sundaes."
There is an example of the split function at about 2:25 in the Splitting and Joining video.
So, following the challenge instructions and using the video example, you'd get something like...
sundaes = available.split(";")
