No Bake Banana Split Cake is a cool, creamy layered dessert with a graham cracker crust, cream cheese filling, fresh bananas, pineapple, whipped topping, nuts, and cherries—just like the classic banana split, but made in a pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 ½ sleeves)
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened (2 packages)
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 4 bananas, sliced
  • 20 ounce crushed pineapple, drained (1 can)
  • 16 ounce frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • ¼ cup peanuts, coarsely chopped
  • 15 maraschino cherries, drained

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until finely chopped.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish in a flat, even layer. Refrigerate until set.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and well blended. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  4. Arrange sliced bananas in an even layer over the cream cheese mixture, followed by an even layer of drained crushed pineapple.
  5. Spread the thawed whipped topping over the fruit layers to cover completely.
  6. Sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts and arrange the maraschino cherries over the dessert.
  7. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent a soggy dessert.
  • Chill before serving for the best texture and flavor.
  • Garnish just before serving to keep the toppings fresh.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
