No-bake Banana Split

• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 container no-bake cheesecake filling (found near the cream cheese)

20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained well

1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

4 bananas, sliced

1 container Cool Whip

Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherries

Directions

Make the crust:

Spread both over the cheesecake layer.

Add bananas:

Slice the bananas and layer them on top of the fruit.

Top and finish:

Spread Cool Whip over the bananas and top with chocolate syrup, walnuts, and cherries—or whatever you like.
