Heavenly No-Bake Banana Split Trifle Recipe

Ingredients:
Graham Cracker Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
Creamy Cheesecake Filling:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 ounces thawed Cool Whip
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruity Toppings:
3 to 4 bananas, sliced
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
20 ounces fresh strawberries, sliced
Dreamy Finishing Touches:
8 ounces thawed Cool Whip
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a trifle dish or large bowl.
Make the Creamy Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
Layer the Fruits: Now comes the fun part! Arrange the sliced bananas in an even layer over the cheesecake filling. Next, sprinkle the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the bananas. Finally, top with a generous layer of sliced strawberries.
Top it Off: Dollop the remaining thawed Cool Whip over the fruit layer, creating a smooth and fluffy topping. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts evenly over the Cool Whip for a nice crunch.
The Grand Finale: Drizzle the chocolate sauce generously over the entire trifle, creating a decadent finishing touch. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or until the flavors meld and the crust softens slightly. Enjoy your Heavenly No-Bake Banana Split Trifle!🧡
