Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large tub (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, drained and halved

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  5. Arrange the sliced bananas over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Sprinkle the drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts evenly over the bananas.
  7. Spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the fruit layer.
  8. Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top layer.
  9. Arrange the halved maraschino cherries on top for garnish.
  10. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the crushed pineapple is very well drained to prevent the cake from becoming watery.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a good quality chocolate syrup.
  • You can substitute strawberries for pineapple if you prefer a different fruit combination.
