Python Basics - Need help with challenge using splits/joins

I get through step 1 and 2 but am stuck on step 3, it is now saying that step 1 is no longer passing. Help please.

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: " + .format(display_menu)
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(';')  # Step 1 - split sundaes
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."  # Step 2 - menu
display_menu = ', '.join(sundaes)  # Step 3 - join sundaes
menu = menu.format(display_menu)  # Step 3 - format menu

I hope that this helps.
