Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer over the crust.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the banana layer. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Next, spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the vanilla layer. Freeze for an additional 10 minutes.
Finally, spread the softened chocolate ice cream over the strawberry layer, smoothing the top. Freeze for 4 hours or until the layers are firm.
Before serving, drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the top of the cake.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly across the top of the cake as a garnish.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the whipped cream.
Top with maraschino cherries, spacing them evenly for decoration.
Slice and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
