Yummy No-Bake Banana Split Dessert

Hi everyone! I have decided to make today's post some yummy delicious desert that you all can try. I will be posting different recipes every now and then for you all to try. If your anything like me sometimes that sweet tooth gets the best of me.

First things first, let me break this dessert down for you. Most importantly – it’s entirely no-bake. Absolutely no oven time is required, which makes it perfect for the summer when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen, and also perfect for when you need a quick dessert that you can throw together in very little time. Poof! Done! Now, for the layers… It starts off with a graham cracker crust, topped with a cream cheese-mousse, and then layers of banana, pineapple, strawberries, and finally whipped cream, nuts, chocolate, and cherries on top! Talk about the ultimate banana split.

Now for the recipe.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Layer:
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
8 ounces COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

For the Fruit & Toppings:
3 to 4 bananas, sliced
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well
16 ounces strawberries, hulled, and sliced
8 ounces COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
½ cup walnuts, chopped
Chocolate syrup
Maraschino cherries

Directions:

1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, stirring until all of the crumbs are evenly moistened. Dump the crumbs into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the next layer.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the COOL WHIP until thoroughly combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust.
4. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on top of the cream cheese filling, top with an even layer of the crushed pineapple, and then an even layer of the sliced strawberries.
5. Cover with the COOL WHIP, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts, then drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with maraschino cherries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.


Be sure and let me know if you try this yummy desert!

Good Morning Crafty Bloggers

Good morning everyone. I hope you all are having a great start to your day so far. I wanted to take a few moments to share with you all some of the projects I have been working on in y absence from blogging... You will notice a big difference from my normal crafting of layouts and paper piecing. I hope you all like the variety of crafting I will be featuring on my blog.

Here is a picture of a couple of altered canvases I created for an Altered Canvas Swap I was in. I had only done a few swaps prior to this and I have to say I had a lot of fun creating these.

Here is a photo of  an Altered Box I did for a challenge in The Crafty Corner group on facebook. We had to take a before and an after picture of our project to show how much it had changed. I so enjoyed doing this challenge. I have the box sitting in my craft room and am using it to store pictures in that I need to create layouts for.

These are just a few examples of some different crafting techniques I have been experimenting with.
