Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 1/2 cupa Graham cracker crumbs
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- cooking spray
For the fillings
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 bananas sliced
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple well drained
For the toppings
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, divided use
- 1 1/4 cups hot fudge sauce
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
- 1/4 cup Rainbow sprinkles
- 16 Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Coat a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.
- For the crust: Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add the whipped topping, sugar and vanilla extract.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Add a layer of bananas, then a layer of crushed pineapple.
- For the toppings Spread half the whipped topping over the pineapple layer. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Warm the fudge sauce in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or pourable. The sauce should not be hot or it will melt the whipped topping. If your chocolate is too hot, let it sit at room temperature until lukewarm.
- Drizzle the fudge over the whipped topping and quickly gently spread into place.
- Sprinkle pecans over fudge layer. Chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
- Place the remaining whipped topping in a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe rosettes of whipped topping onto the top of the cake. Top with sprinkles and cherries. Cut into slices, then serve.
