Apologies to my pal Lana - This one has strawberries and it is really GOODe ;)
Banana Split Cake is one of my family's must-have holiday desserts. Back in the day it used to have raw eggs in it, but over the years we have tweaked the recipe to pack the same yummy punch without.
Start by covering the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish with graham cracker crumbs. You can crush them yourself or use the handy dandy pre-crushed stuff like I do...
Now add 1 stick of melted butter and mix up until crumbly
Press into bottom as a crust
Refrigerate while you whip up the sweet filling
Mix 1 block of softened cream cheese with 1 1lb of powdered sugar until nice and creamy.
Slather on top of the crust and grumble when the crust gets in the icing.
Quick! Sprinkle on the pineapple to hide the crumbs!
Cover with cool whip
Slice up 3 bananas and throw them on top
Spoon on strawberries (or cherries)
Top with nuts! (Plenty of those around the holidays ;) Just sayin')
This recipe also looks very pretty in a trifle bowl. Mix up the layers however you'd like... like we say back home, it's all going to the same place anyhow ;)
Enjoy!

Yum! Sounds really good to me right now. Another recipe I'll be adding to my folder to try soon!
Ya just had to go there didn't you! ;-) It looks heavenly! I've just reclaimed about 13 pounds of the 50 I lost last year, so I am going to have to just enjoy the pictures for a while!
Oh that and I, along with the help of Tall Guy just filled 20 quart bags of puppy chow for our school's Christmas Bazaar this weekend! ACK!
So this is what to make when the DQ closes for the winter, as in the case of up here in the great deepfreeze. Are we to infer that Lana doesn't like strawberries?? This looks way too goode. Another great recipe to make during the Christmas season! Thanks Cris. :-)
You can't go wrong with graham cracker crust and anything banana. I recently made a banana cream pie --- I didn't know I was capable of such deliciousness :)
Looks delicious and won't take me too long to whip up! Thanks for sharing.
