No Bake Banana Split Icebox Cake
Description
The cake begins by beating softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy, then folding in a mixture of instant vanilla pudding and milk, followed by half of the whipped topping. Bananas are sliced and tossed with pineapple juice to slow browning. Crushed pineapple is drained to remove excess juice.
Layered in a 9×13 pan, graham crackers alternate with the cream cheese mixture and bananas, then pineapple. A final graham cracker layer is topped with the remaining whipped topping, cherries, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. The dessert is refrigerated overnight, allowing the graham crackers to soften slightly and flavors to blend.
This cake offers a creamy, fruity variation on classic banana split ingredients without baking, making it a convenient chilled dessert. The combination of banana, pineapple, and chocolate complements the rich cream cheese pudding layers.
