National Banana Split Day
I am loving that all these summer months have cool, yummy treats for their crazy random holiday.
What is better than a banana split?
It has it all.
Bananas. Vanilla. Chocolate. Strawberries. Pineapple. Whipped cream. Nuts. Cherries. YUMMM
This is a variation of a banana split.
Banana Split Dessert
(Some call it banana split cheesecake)
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup melted butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
3 medium bananas, cut up
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
8 maraschino cherries, halved
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1. Crush graham crackers.
Haha this took us forever because we crushed it by hand thinking it wouldn't take that long... We were wrong
2. Blend the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs and press into the bottom of a 9x12 inch pan.
3. Blend the confectioner's sugar and the cream cheese together until smooth.
4. Spread over the graham cracker crumb layer.
5. Layer the crushed pineapple and the bananas over the cream cheese layer.
6. Spread the whipped topping on top.
7. Add the cherries, chocolate syrup, and pecans. (I just put the pecans on half)
8. Chill for at least 4 hours then serve.
This was really good. The crust was a little hard to get up. And as you may have noticed there were no strawberries so I will incorporate these in when I make it again.
Do you have any other variations of banana splits?
