How to Make Banana Split Delight
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs and 6 tablespoons melted margarine. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 4 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Spread the well-drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer.
- Dip sliced bananas in reserved pineapple juice to prevent browning. Arrange banana slices over the pineapple layer.
- Spread the remaining 1 cup of Cool Whip over the bananas.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the Cool Whip.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries and chocolate syrup as desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
