Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
  2. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer.
  4. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the next layers.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

  1. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

Step 3: Add the Banana Layer

  1. Arrange sliced bananas evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
  2. Press them gently into the cream cheese mixture to keep them in place.

Step 4: Add the Whipped Topping

  1. Spread a layer of whipped topping over the bananas, smoothing it out to cover the entire surface.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

  1. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped topping.
  2. Sprinkle with maraschino cherries, and chopped walnuts if using.
  3. For extra flair, drizzle more chocolate syrup on top of the cherries or sprinkle some mini chocolate chips.

Step 6: Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set.
  2. Once chilled, slice and serve!

Tips for the Best No-Bake Banana Split Cake

✔ Let the cake chill long enough for the flavors to meld and the layers to set. The longer it chills, the better!
✔ Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
✔ If you prefer a lighter crust, substitute the graham crackers with vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits.
