Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 sheets Graham crackers
- 3.4 ounces Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 large Bananas
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate syrup
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 8 whole Maraschino cherries
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened. Set aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom, breaking them as needed to fit the dish.
Spread half of the prepared pudding evenly over the graham crackers.
Slice the bananas into coin-shaped pieces and layer them over the pudding.
Arrange half of the fresh strawberries (sliced) and half of the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas.
Spread half of the whipped topping over the fruit layer, smoothing it out evenly.
Repeat the layers: graham crackers, remaining pudding, banana slices, the rest of the strawberries and pineapple, and the remaining whipped topping.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top of the whipped topping in a decorative pattern.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if using, and garnish with maraschino cherries.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the crackers to soften.
Slice and serve chilled.
