BANANA SPLIT CAKE CUPS.. LOOKS DELICIOUS!

Banana Split Cake Cups

Banana Split Cakes Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 stick butter, melted

3 cups powdered sugar

8-oz package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter, softened

3-4 bananas, sliced

1 quart strawberries, sliced

1 (20-oz) can crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

9-oz jar maraschino cherries, drained and halved

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Combine the melted butter and graham crackers crumbs. Press into the bottom of your baking dish. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, then place in the freezer to chill and set for about 10 minutes. Beat the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust. Add a layer of sliced bananas over the cream cheese mixture. Drain the pineapple and spread evenly over the bananas. Sprinkle 1/2 a cup of nuts over the pineapple, then add a layer of sliced strawberries.

In a cold bowl, with cold beaters, whip the cream on high until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Sweeten your whipped cream to taste. Spread the whipped cream over everything. Garnish with more nuts and the cherry halves. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!

Notes: If you want to make this dessert in cups as I did, follow the same directions, but divide each of the layers between your cups. When baking the crust, place the jars on a baking sheet and bake as normal.

 SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH BANANAS.. AND THEY AREN'T TO EXPENSIVE EITHER.. THANKFULLY

AND LETS REALLY NOT FORGET BANANA SPLITS (we do ours with sugar free ice cream.. removes a little of the guilt and besides, my husband Norman is diabetic) but, they are still terrific!

 All Things Bright And Beautiful Hymn

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all

 

The purple-headed mountain, The river running by,

The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky;

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all

The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one;

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all

The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water, To gather every day;

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all

He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell

How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.
