A fun, fruity, and creamy no-bake dessert layered with graham cracker crust, sweet cream cheese filling, fresh bananas, pineapple, strawberries, and whipped topping—just like a banana split!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced (or sweetened frozen)
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Maraschino cherries, for topping
  • Chocolate syrup, for optional drizzle

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  4. Layer sliced bananas over the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Add an even layer of drained crushed pineapple.
  6. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries.
  7. Spread whipped topping over the fruit, covering completely.
  8. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top and decorate with maraschino cherries.
  9. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  10. Drizzle with chocolate syrup just before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham for variation.
  • Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for a twist.
  • Add a layer of fudge sauce beneath the fruit for richness.
  • Brush bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Use stabilized whipped cream if making from scratch.
