Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For the Toppings:

  • 3–4 bananas, sliced
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped topping (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
  • Maraschino cherries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully combined.
    • Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Add the Layers:
    • Arrange the banana slices evenly over the cheesecake layer.
    • Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas.
    • Arrange the sliced strawberries over the pineapple.
  4. Finish and Chill:
    • Spread a layer of whipped topping over the fruit layers.
    • Sprinkle with chopped nuts (if using) and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
    • Garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from getting mushy.
  • You can substitute fresh pineapple for canned pineapple, but ensure it’s finely chopped and drained well.
  • Add additional toppings like shredded coconut or caramel drizzle for extra flair!
