Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.

Step 5

Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 6

Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the banana layer.

Step 7

Gently spread the whipped topping over the pineapple layer, ensuring an even coating.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the whipped topping.

Step 9

Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top in a decorative pattern.

Step 10

Garnish with maraschino cherry halves, placing them evenly across the surface.

Step 11

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy!
