No Bake Banana Split Dessert🥰😍

by

No Bake Banana Split Dessert is a delightful and easy-to-make treat that captures all the flavors of a classic banana split in a convenient no-bake form. This dessert features layers of creamy goodness, including a buttery graham cracker crust, luscious banana pudding, sweet sliced bananas, tangy crushed pineapple, fluffy whipped cream, and a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup and chopped nuts. Each bite is a delicious medley of textures and flavors, reminiscent of the beloved ice cream sundae.

To make this dessert, start by preparing the graham cracker crust, which serves as the perfect base for the layers above. Simply mix together crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a touch of sugar, then press the mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust.

Next, prepare the banana pudding layer by whisking together instant banana pudding mix with cold milk until thick and creamy. Spread the pudding evenly over the graham cracker crust.

Layer sliced bananas on top of the pudding, followed by crushed pineapple, which adds a refreshing burst of tanginess to the dessert.

Top the dessert with a generous layer of whipped cream, which adds lightness and creaminess to each bite.

To finish, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream and sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the layers to set. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve chilled.

This No Bake Banana Split Dessert is perfect for parties, potlucks, or any occasion when you want to impress with a delicious and easy-to-make treat. Enjoy the taste of a classic banana split in a convenient no-bake dessert form!
