Banana Split Dessert

Banana Split Dessert

Crust

• 2 cups crushed graham crackers
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 c. butter

Mix together.  Press into 9×13 pan.  Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.  Cool completely.

Filling

• 16 oz. cream cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream together.  Spread over cooled crust.

Layers – (on top of cream cheese filling)

1. Three sliced bananas.
2. 12 oz. can crushed pineapple, well drained
3. 12 oz. whipped topping
4. 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
5. Chocolate syrup (drizzle over all)
6. 4 oz. maraschino cherries, halved

Refrigerate several hours, until served.

*** Make sure the pineapple covers the bananas well.  They’ll keep the bananas from getting brown too fast.

*** This is a good one to make for a crowd, because it needs to be eaten about 24-hours after being made… again, because of the bananas.
