Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Creamy Layer:

  • 1 8-ounce block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Fruit Layers:

  • 3–4 medium bananas, sliced
  • 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into a 9×13-inch dish, ensuring an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Creamy Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
  3. Add the Fruit Layers: Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese layer. Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas. Evenly distribute the diced strawberries on top.
  4. Top with Whipped Cream: Gently spread whipped topping over the fruit layers.
  5. Garnish And Chill: Sprinkle chopped nuts (if using) over the whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Add maraschino cherries on top for the classic banana split look. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) for best results.
  6. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this refreshing and creamy treat!

Notes

  • You can customize the fruit layers with your favorite fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even kiwi.
  • To make the dessert even more decadent, consider adding a layer of caramel or hot fudge sauce between the fruit and cream layers.
  • For a tropical twist, sprinkle shredded coconut over the whipped cream topping.
