- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 4 hours (includes chilling time)
- Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 3-4 bananas, sliced
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Layer the drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the banana slices.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans and halved maraschino cherries on top. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the dessert.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with crushed Oreos, Nilla wafers, or a store-bought shortbread crust.
- For extra flavor, try adding other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
- For a dairy-free option, swap out the cream cheese and whipped topping for dairy-free alternatives.
- Use fresh lemon juice on the banana slices to prevent browning.
