Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed

Fruit and Toppings

  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Additional banana slices, maraschino cherries, and chocolate pieces for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake – First Layer: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust in the baking dish.
  6. Add Fruit Layers: Over the cream cheese layer, arrange sliced bananas, sprinkle the crushed pineapple evenly, and scatter halved maraschino cherries evenly.
  7. Assemble the Cheesecake – Second Layer: Carefully spread the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the fruit layer, covering all the fruit.
  8. Add Sauces: Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top of the final cream cheese layer for added flavor and decoration.
  9. Chill: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with dollops of whipped cream, additional banana slices, maraschino cherries, and chocolate pieces to enhance presentation and taste.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust or filling.
  • For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight.
  • You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
  • Use fresh bananas to prevent browning; you can toss slices in a little lemon juice before layering.
