8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 cups sliced bananas
20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
8 oz cool whip, thawed
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
10 ounces maraschino cherries
Directions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to create an even crust layer.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then spread over the crust.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Evenly spread the drained crushed pineapple over the banana layer for a fruity addition.
- Spread the Cool Whip over the entire dessert, smoothing it out with a spatula to cover completely.
- Drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the Cool Whip layer for added sweetness and chocolate flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the top to add a nice crunch to the dessert.
- Place maraschino cherries over the top, spacing them evenly for decoration and flavor.
