Banana Split Cake
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained (save juice)
5 medium bananas
2 cups cold milk
2 packages (4 serving size) Jell-O vanilla instant pudding
1 (8 ounce) carton Cool Whip
1 cup chopped pecans
Mix crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into bottom of 13 x 9 inch pan. Freeze 10 minutes.
Beat cream cheese and remaining 3/4 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread carefully over crust; top with pineapple. Slice the bananas into the reserved pineapple juice (this will keep them from turning brown), drain, and arrange over pineapple.
Pour milk in a medium bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with a wire whisk 2 minutes, or until thickened. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping; spread over banana layer in pan. Top with remaining whipped topping; sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate 5 hours or overnight.
Makes 24 servings. Serve each piece with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and topped with a cherry.
I took this to my sister-in-law's birthday party. I think Hubby was disappointed we didn't bring any home for later.

ReplyDeletesomeone is using your recipe on an auction site and selling it, they are also using your photo. They just cropped it

Thank you for letting me know. I have sent a strongly worded email to the auction website. I find it disappointing that people are so dishonest that they will steal a recipe and photo to make a few cents!
DeleteThis looks exactly like a recipe I found a handful of years ago on the Kraft website. I've been making it for years (with a few topping additions like cherries and sprinkles). Always a hit!
