Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas the riper, the better for that sweet flavor
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, drained go for the juice or organic if you can
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened this helps it blend smoothly
  • 1 cup powdered sugar not a huge sweet tooth? You can dial this back a bit
  • 1 cup whipped topping think fluffy, dreamy goodness
For Toppings
  • 1 cup chocolate syrup because who doesn’t love a chocolate drizzle?
  • 1 cup chopped nuts optional, adds a nice crunch
  • Maraschino cherries an absolute necessity for authenticity
  • Your choice of additional toppings sprinkles, maybe? Go wild!

Notes

Once prepared, cover and stash in the fridge. It’ll keep for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze individual pieces for later, but it's best eaten fresh. For even better flavor, make it a day ahead.
