No-Bake Banana Split Cheesecake

A creamy, fruity, no-bake dessert that tastes just like a classic banana split — perfect for summer parties or family gatherings!

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cheesecake Layer:

• 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

For the Toppings:

• 3 bananas, sliced
• 1 can crushed pineapple, well drained
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• Chocolate syrup
• Chopped nuts (optional)
• Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust:
   Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
2. Make the cheesecake filling:
   Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix well. Fold in the whipped topping until creamy and fluffy.
3. Assemble the dessert:
   Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
4. Add fruit layers:
   Arrange banana slices evenly over the cheesecake layer. Spoon the drained crushed pineapple on top, then add sliced strawberries.
5. Decorate:
   Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired, and top with maraschino cherries.
6. Chill:
   Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving so it sets properly.

Tips

• Dip banana slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from browning.
• For extra flavor, add a drizzle of caramel sauce.
• Best served cold straight from the fridge.
