Description

Delicious no-bake cheesecake bars that combine the classic flavors of a banana split with creamy cheesecake, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 16 oz Cool Whip, thawed (8 oz for filling, 8 oz for topping)
  • 1 can (12 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3 large bananas, sliced
  • 8 oz strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 8 maraschino cherries, halved
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the graham cracker crumbs and chopped pecans. Process until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 13×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice for 3-5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 8 oz of thawed Cool Whip until fully incorporated. Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
  3. Top the cheesecake layer with the drained crushed pineapple, followed by the sliced bananas and strawberries. Spread an even layer of the remaining 8 oz of Cool Whip over the fruit.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight to allow the dessert to set. Before serving, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and pecan halves. Top with halved maraschino cherries and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing. For a firmer texture, let the bars chill overnight before serving. You can use different fruits based on your preferences.
