Banana Split Cake

Preheat oven to 350 F.

1. In a medium sized bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter and stir. Using a 9X9-inch pan press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of the pan making sure that you have a solid bottom. Bake crust for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and allow crust to completely cool before topping it with the rest of the cake.

2. In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese until creamy. Add the pudding mix, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until creamy. The filling should be creamy. If it still appears slightly thick and clumpy, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until it is creamy.

3. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust and spread evenly with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon. Open the can of the pineapple and drain off the excess liquid using a strainer. Press the pineapple to squeeze out more of the liquid. Sprinkle the crushed pineapple on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle the strawberries and bananas on top of the pineapple.

4. Spread the whipped topping on top of the fruit. Top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, cherries and nuts for garnish.
