Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 8 oz of the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy mixture. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese filling.
Spread the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the banana layer.
Add a layer of fresh sliced strawberries on top of the crushed pineapple.
Spread the remaining 8 oz of whipped topping over the fruit layers to cover completely.

Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate syrup, if desired.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Garnish each slice with a maraschino cherry, if desired, and serve chilled.
