Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
2 bananas, sliced
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup caramel sauce
Whipped cream for garnish
Additional banana slices
Additional maraschino cherries
Chocolate pieces or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and fully combined.
Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until smooth and light.
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.
Layer sliced bananas, crushed pineapple, and halved cherries evenly over the filling.
Spread remaining cheesecake filling over the fruit layer and smooth the top.
Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce decoratively over the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, banana slices, cherries, and chocolate shavings.
Notes
Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
Brush banana slices lightly with lemon juice to reduce browning.
For extra flavor, use chocolate graham crackers for the crust.
Can be made ahead and chilled overnight for best texture.
Store refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Can be frozen up to 1 month and thawed overnight before serving.
