Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Toppings:

  • 3 to 4 bananas, sliced (enough to cover the baking dish)

  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well

  • 20 ounces strawberries, sliced

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip

  • ½ cup hazelnuts, chopped

  • Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing the graham crackers. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter and a dash of salt to create the crust mixture.

  2. Assemble the Base: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and press the graham cracker mixture down firmly into the bottom. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the Cool Whip with a rubber spatula until well combined. Spread this creamy topping evenly over your chilled crust.

  4. Layer the Fruit: Start layering your cake by placing the banana slices over the cream cheese filling. Then, spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries for a pop of color and flavor.

  5. Top It Off: Finish your creation with a generous layer of Cool Whip. Drizzle with melted chocolate sauce and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts for added crunch. Feel free to add maraschino cherries for an extra festive touch!

  6. Chill Before Serving: Cover the cake and chill for at least four hours before serving, or for the best results, leave it in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and enjoy this delightful No-Bake Banana Split Cake, a refreshing and indulgent dessert perfect for your holiday celebrations!
