Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 4 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 4-5 bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust.
Step 2: Cream Cheese Layer
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Step 3: Layer the Fruit
Layer the sliced bananas over the cream cheese layer, followed by the drained crushed pineapple. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pineapple layer.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Top the dessert with the cherry pie filling, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the entire dessert and garnish with maraschino cherries.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set. Slice and serve chilled.
