Ingredients

• 15 sheets Graham crackers
• 20 oz Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 2 Bananas
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 16 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
• 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk
• 8 Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large serving dish or 9x13-inch pan, arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the bottom. Break the crackers as needed to cover the entire base.

Step 3

Spread one-third of the prepared vanilla pudding evenly over the graham cracker layer.

Step 4

Scatter half of the drained crushed pineapple over the pudding layer, followed by an even layer of banana slices from one of the bananas.

Step 5

Spread one-third of the whipped topping over the fruit layer, covering it completely.

Step 6

Repeat the layers: graham crackers, one-third pudding, remaining pineapple, slices from the second banana, and one-third whipped topping.

Step 7

Finish with a final layer of graham crackers topped with the remaining pudding and whipped topping, creating a smooth, even surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut evenly over the top layer for added flavor and texture.

Step 9

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries for a festive touch, if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy!
