Ingredients

Scale

Crust

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
5 Tablespoons melted butter

Filling

8 ounces cream cheese
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 cup whipped topping

Toppings

2 bananas, sliced
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, very well drained
8 ounces whipped topping
1 Tablespoon chocolate sauce
1 Tablespoon strawberry sauce
1 Tablespoon chopped peanuts
Maraschino cherries

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F to prepare for baking the crust.
Make Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
Prepare Filling: Beat the cream cheese and ¼ cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Spread this filling evenly over the cooled crust.
Add Fruit Layers: Arrange a single layer of sliced bananas over the cream cheese filling. Then, spread the well-drained crushed pineapple evenly over the banana layer.
Top Pie: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping over the pineapple layer. Cover the pie and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or until set.
Garnish and Serve: When ready to serve, drizzle chocolate and strawberry sauces over the top. Sprinkle chopped peanuts and add maraschino cherries for a classic banana split finish.

Notes

Ensure the crushed pineapple is very well drained to prevent a soggy crust.
Use fresh, ripe bananas for best flavor and texture.
This pie is best served chilled and within two days for optimal freshness.
You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
To add an extra touch, consider drizzling caramel sauce along with the chocolate and strawberry sauces.
