Ingredients

Crust:
  • 1 1/2 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 1/4 cup sugar
Pineapple Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 2 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese softened
  • 1 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple drained
  • 1/4 1/4 cup sugar
  • 16 16 ounces strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 3 3 sliced bananas
  • chocolate syrup
  • nuts
  • Maraschino cherries (around a 8 ounce can)
Whipped Cream:
  • 2 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of the pan firmly. Place in the fridge or freezer while preparing the filling to help it set.
  3. For the Pineapple Cream Cheese Layer: With a mixer, cream together the cream cheese, crushed pineapple, and sugar. Spread over graham cracker crust. 
  4. Layer the strawberries and bananas on top. You may need less or more. The quantities are just approximate.
  5. For the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip. Spread over bananas and strawberries.
  6. Chill until serving. Drizzle with nuts and chocolate syrup before serving or on each individual slice.

Notes

  • The bananas will begin to discolor once they make contact with the air. For best results, don't add the fruit until a couple of hours before serving.
