How to make it
- Grease a 13X9 baking dish; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, stirring with a fork until all of the crumbs are evenly moistened. Firmly press crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom of prepared pan and refrigerate at least 30 mins. In a large mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy; about 3 mins. Add Cool Whip and mix until thoroughly combined. Carefully spread mixture evenly over graham cracker crust. Arrange banana slices in a single layer over cream cheese mixture, top with an even layer of crushed pineapple, then with an even layer of sliced strawberries. Spread the second container of Cool Whip evenly over fruit. Refrigerate overnight. Cut dessert into servings. Drizzle chocolate syrup over each serving, sprinkle with nuts (if using), and top with maraschino cherries.
- Note: Fourteen square graham crackers make 1 C. crumbs. Recipe is easily halved for an 8-inch square dish using one 8 oz. can crushed pineapple and one 8 oz. container Cool Whip (skimp a bit on the amount in the filling to make sure there is enough for the topping). The number of bananas needed will depend on how big they are. Same with the strawberries.
