❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love that this no-bake dessert is simple and perfect for any spring or summer gathering. The graham cracker crust is easy to make and the combination of bananas and strawberries really is terrific. We love topping it with peanuts just like an original banana split.

SWAPS

If you have a peanut allergy you can simply leave them out. We love the addition of pineapple with the banana and strawberries but you can always mix it up some. You can add more bananas if you like. This is a layer-style dessert and super versatile.

CHERRY ON TOP

We love to put the cherries on top of the cake spread about a slice apart, so each slice will get a cherry. This is a very pretty dessert and would be perfect for any summer holiday especially the 4th of July.

DOES IT HAVE TO CHILL?

Yes, we chill this dessert for at least 4 hours, but honestly, it’s perfect to make it the night before and leave it in the refrigerator all night. This is a great dessert to make in advance.

⭐TIP

You can easily just use bottle chocolate sauce to save time or you can make homemade hot fudge. If you do use homemade, let it cool before adding it to the cake.
