This recipe makes a lot and is very rich so you will only want to partake of a little piece at a time. I must warn you, it's heavy on the calories, but very worth it!
Banana Split Cake
You will need a 13X9 inch pan.
Melt 3/4 cup of butter
Mix in 3 cups graham wafer crumbs
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool
Beat together:
1 cup softened butter
2-3 cups icing sugar
1 or 2 eggs beaten
Spread on top of cooled graham crumb base
Cover the icing base with:
3 bananas, sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice
Cover bananas with a 14 or 19 oz can of well -drained crushed pineapple.
Cover fruit with one container of Cool Whip or real whipped cream if eaten right away.
Decorate with a can of cherry pie filling or fresh, sliced strawberries. For Valentine's Day, a heart made from strawberries would be pretty.
Keep in refrigerator. Enjoy!
Your family and friends are going to love this! It's a big hit whenever I make it.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

This is a delicious dessert. I remember making it years ago - but with real whipped cream in place of Cool Whip. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks YUMMY ! Thanks for sharing , have a good day and a Happy Valentines Day .
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the raw eggs. Are they safe to consume? I want to make this recipe soon and want to be sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteMaxine, the eggs shouldn't be a problem. Most functions don't last any more than two and a half to three hours. Other than that, it is kept in the fridge. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteThis is new for me, and I'm glad you posted the recipe before my Saturday trip to the grocery store. This will be our Valentine's Day dessert - suitably large sweet and pretty! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA tantalizing dessert Sandi, would be great for a pot luck supper - you know, share the calories!

Hi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law used to make this a lot and
it was always a treat.
You asked about the macaroons....no,I didn't bake them but there are
lots of recipes online if you would like to try them.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, wonderful looking dessert and thanks for the recipe but may I ask about the egg. Do you not bake it after adding the egg?

Dear Sandi:
ReplyDeleteI just came back to reread the comments about the eggs as I wondered the same thing as other people.
Sandi, I tried this recipe this past weekend and will be posting about it. Just delicious! Got great reviews from our potluck crowd!
