Instructions
Making No Bake Banana Split Cake is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until well combined and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and beat until fluffy. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
3. Prepare the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until well combined and thickened. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
4. Layer the Bananas and Pineapple: Evenly layer the sliced bananas on top of the pudding, followed by the crushed pineapple.
5. Drizzle with Chocolate: Drizzle half of the chocolate syrup over the banana and pineapple layers.
6. Add a Second Cream Layer: In the same bowl you used for the cream cheese, beat the remaining heavy whipping cream until it’s whipped and fluffy. Spread this whipped cream over the fruit layer.
7. Final Touches: Drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup over the whipped cream layer. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts for added crunch.
8. Chill: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
