Banana Split Cake makes good dessert bar

Ingredients:

2 c. graham crumbs

3/4 white sugar

1 stick oleo, melted

2 – 8 ounce packages of cream cheese

1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

1 – 15 ounce can of crushed pineapple drained light syrup

2 to 3 cups fruit of choice cut in thin slices (I used strawberries here)

4 bananas sliced, I soaked them in the drained pineapple juice quick to keep the color fresh

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla

1 – 16 ounce container thawed frozen whipped topping

Dessert toppings:

1 16 ounce jar maraschino cherries drained and halved

Sliced fresh fruits of choice

Nuts of choice

Chocolate syrup

Directions:

Combine graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl; mix well. Press into a 9×13-inch cake pan; place in freezer until chilled, about 30 minutes.

Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners sugar in a large bowl until smooth; spread over chilled graham cracker crust.

Layer sliced bananas and any fruit you’d like along with the well drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese mixture; cover with whipped topping. Chill for several hours, best when prepared one day ahead.

Let the family sprinkle on toppings of what they’d like when serving.
