No-Bake Banana Split Cake Easy Delightful Recipe
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups whipped cream
- 2 pieces ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 Prise chocolate syrup for drizzling
- 1 Prise maraschino cherries for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan to form a crust layer.
- Make the cream layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined. Spread this cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Layer the fruits: Arrange the sliced bananas over the cream cheese layer, followed by a layer of crushed pineapple. Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
- Add strawberries and walnuts: Top the pineapple layer with sliced strawberries and sprinkle chopped walnuts over them if using.
- Finish with toppings: Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the top of the cake, and finish with a few maraschino cherries for decoration.
- Chill: Cover the cake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
- Serve: Before serving, you may drizzle additional chocolate syrup and add more whipped cream on top if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy!
