  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed

For the Layers:

  • ½ cup maraschino cherries, halved
  • ¼ cup chocolate syrup
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce

For Garnish:

  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping until fluffy and creamy.

  • Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust. Layer with banana slices, crushed pineapple, and maraschino cherries. Top with the remaining cheesecake mixture.

  • Add Toppings: Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top.

  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, additional banana slices, maraschino cherries, and chocolate pieces. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, use chocolate graham cracker crumbs for the crust.
  • Feel free to add extra fruits like strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for a unique variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
