Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing the graham crackers. Mix in the melted unsalted butter and a dash of salt with the crushed graham crackers to create the crust.
- Set the Crust: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pat the graham cracker mixture down onto it, then let it cool in the fridge while you move on to the next steps.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Once the mixture is well combined, gently fold in the Cool Whip using a rubber spatula. Spread this delightful filling over your prepared crust.
- Layer the Goodness: Now, it’s time to layer your dessert. Begin by arranging slices of bananas evenly over the filling. Next, spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Finishing Touches: For the grand finale, top your dish with more Cool Whip and a drizzle of melted chocolate. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add chopped hazelnuts and maraschino cherries for extra indulgence. Now, it’s time to let your creation chill for at least four hours before serving. You can even leave it in the fridge overnight for the best results.
