This is a “oh my goodness” kind of dessert. Absolutely delicious, you are going to love it. I made this for my family for the first time a few months ago and I have made it many times since them. This one is my youngest sons all time favorite. if he had his way we would have this every day. Give this recipe a try as I am sure you and your family are going to love it.
“Banana Split Dessert is a no-bake recipe with a graham cracker crust, a cream cheese pineapple layer, strawberries, bananas, and cream with cherries on top! This dessert is always a crowd favorite!
Can I tell you that this dessert has been in the making for over two years? I was brainstorming a dessert for our family reunion two years ago and had tried several recipes. None of them ever tasted like what I imagined a banana split dessert to be.”
