Banana Split Cake

Banana Split Cake is a dessert that we have been making since I was 13. That is when our young friend brought this to our house and we all fell in love with it. I have been making it ever since! It is very easy to make. You can also keep the sugar on the low end by using sugar-free pudding and Cool Whip. You will love this dessert! If you like banana splits, this is for you!

• 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1 large can pineapple, drained
• 3 bananas, sliced
• 1 box banana pudding
• 1 large container of cool whip, generic or name brand(they taste the same)
• 1 jar maraschino cherries with stems, well drained and blotted dry with paper towels

Prepare a 9×13 pan. Spray it lightly with cooking spray, set aside.

Now place the graham cracker crumbs into a large bowl. Melt the butter and mix with the graham crumbs.

Pat the crumbs into the pan. Now slice the bananas and put them on the crust, placing on every area of the crust.

Drain the pineapple and place into a large bowl. Now add the pudding mix and blend well. Add about 2 cups of the cool whip to the pineapple mixture, blend well.

Now place the mixture over the bananas and gently spread with an offset spatula.

Now spread the pudding mixture with the remaining cool whip using your offset splatula.

Now melt some hot fudge and drizzle over the top of the dessert. Run a skewer across if desired.

Now place the Maraschino cherries on the dessert as shown.

Now place the dessert into the fridge for a few hours.

Now it it time to cut in and enjoy!
