Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham crackers
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 3 large bananas
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)
- 8 pieces maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold 1 cup of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Slice the bananas and arrange them in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture.
Distribute the drained pineapple chunks evenly over the banana layer.
Spread the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping over the pineapple layer, smoothing it out evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, if using, for added crunch and flavor.
Garnish with maraschino cherries (optional).
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your tropical layered banana pineapple dessert!
