This No Bake Banana Split Dessert has been a family favorite for years – such an easy and delicious summer time treat.
Today’s recipes is another one of those oldies but goodies. I have had it in my recipe file for over 30 years and it originally belonged to my mother. It is on a nice little type written 3 x 5 index card in my collection of recipes. I remember spending hours on my typewriter typing out all my recipes! Now all I have to do is log onto my blog.
I served today’s recipe at a farewell dinner party for a sister missionary in our ward this past week. Her family was here to pick her up so we invited them to dinner and then invited a lot of the people she had served and taught during her mission over for a little dessert party and to say goodbye. Let’s just say the banana split dessert was a huge hit. I actually had to hide a few pieces of it so that the guest of honor could have a piece when she was done visiting.
One of the best things about this dessert, other than it is delicious, is that it is no bake! No oven or stovetop required. Perfect for summer. Especially on a 95 degree day like it is in Portland today and your air conditioner is broken. Yes, that would be me!
The dessert starts with a base of graham cracker crumbs in a 9 x 13 glass pan. It is then topped with a mixture of sugar and butter that has been beat for 15 minutes until it gets so light and fluffy! And so yummy! I have a hard time not just eating all the filling straight out of the bowl. But I did manage to save some for the dessert. Top the graham crackers with the filling and then top with sliced bananas, strawberries and drained crushed pineapple.
Then top it with Cool Whip, more sliced strawberries and then I like to drizzle it with chocolate syrup. A banana split must have chocolate!
Then all you have to do is slice and serve. Be sure to keep it refrigerated until you are ready to eat it!
This dessert got a lot of oohs and aahs that night!
