No-Bake Banana Split Cake Dessert

It is a classic! It layers a graham cracker crust, cream cheese-based filling, bananas, pineapple, strawberries, whipped cream, nuts, chocolate & a cherry on top! Part banana pudding and part icebox cake, it’s a great dessert for the most special holidays or simple gatherings.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 ounces Cool Whip (or whipped topping), thawed
4 to 6 bananas, sliced
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Directions:

Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Layer banana slices evenly over the top, followed by a layer of crushed pineapple, and then a layer of sliced strawberries.

Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the fruit. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with maraschino cherries.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the dessert to set.
