  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup or fudge sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust.

  4. Evenly distribute drained crushed pineapple over the bananas.
  5. Add sliced strawberries on top of the pineapple layer.
  6. Spread whipped topping over the fruit layers and smooth it with a spatula.
  7. Drizzle with chocolate syrup, sprinkle chopped nuts, and garnish with maraschino cherries.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Use lemon juice to keep bananas from browning.
  • Try chocolate graham crackers or add a vanilla pudding layer for variation.
  • Swap fruits with blueberries, raspberries, or mango for a twist.
  • Make it dairy-free with vegan cream cheese and whipped topping.
  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 days; not suitable for freezing.
