Print Recipe

A delightful no-bake Banana Split Cake that combines cream cheese, pineapple, and bananas on a graham cracker crust, topped with Cool Whip and peanuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 4 bananas, sliced
  • 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 1/2 cup peanuts, finely chopped
  • 12 maraschino cherries, rinsed and dried
  • Hot fudge sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press into a 9×13 inch pan and chill for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth, then gradually add confectioners sugar and sea salt.
  3. Add the pineapple and bananas to the cream cheese mixture, folding gently to combine.
  4. Combine with the Cool Whip, folding gently until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the cake by pouring the mixture over the chilled crust and spreading evenly. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  6. Garnish before serving with peanuts and maraschino cherries, adding a drizzle of hot fudge sauce if desired.

Notes

For a fun twist, try using chocolate graham crackers or adding mixed berries instead of bananas.
