Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 bananas, sliced
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
½ cup chopped peanuts (or walnuts/pecans)
Maraschino cherries, for topping
Instructions
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust. Chill until set.
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over the crust.
Layer sliced bananas and drained pineapple evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Spread whipped topping evenly over the fruit layer.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts and place maraschino cherries on top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Brush banana slices with lemon juice to slow browning.
Swap crushed pineapple with strawberries or blueberries for variation.
Top with chocolate shavings or toasted coconut for added flair.
