Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Toppings

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • Maraschino cherries, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crust in the baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Add fruit layers: Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the cheesecake layer, then spread the crushed pineapple on top, followed by the chopped strawberries. Ensure even distribution for balanced flavor in each bite.
  6. Add toppings: Drizzle the chocolate syrup evenly over the layered fruit, then sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top for crunch and texture.
  7. Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set firmly.
  8. Serve: Just before serving, garnish the cheesecake with maraschino cherries placed evenly across the top. Cut into 12 slices and enjoy this no-bake treat chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent the crust or cheesecake from becoming soggy.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust for a richer flavor twist.
  • Serve chilled for optimal texture and refreshing taste.
  • This dessert is best prepared ahead of time to allow proper setting in the refrigerator.
