BANANA SPLIT DESSERT RECIPE

Prep Time: 10 minutes

• 4 cups graham crackers, crushed

• 3 bananas, sliced - more for garnish if desired
• 16 ounces whipped topping

Directions

CRUST:

• Mix crushed graham cracker and one stick melted butter with a fork.
• Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with this mixture.
• Bake for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.

FILLING:

• Beat eggs*, 2 sticks of butter, 1 cup of whipped topping and powdered sugar until fluffy.
• Spread mixture on cooled crust.
• Top with crushed pineapple and a layer of sliced bananas (2-3 bananas).
• Cover with remaining whipped topping.
• Garnish with nuts, bananas, or sprinkled with crushed graham crackers.

*NOTE: When a recipe requires “raw” eggs as an ingredient, there is always a concern that potentially harmful bacteria may have invaded the egg which may cause illness in humans. Although the probability is low (1 in 20,000 eggs), the concern does exist; therefore, if you are concerned about using raw eggs, consider an egg substitute, such as pasteurized whole eggs, egg white substitutes, or meringue powder, to reduce the potential of bacterial contamination.
