To prepare the first layer of your banana split dessert, melt butter in a
9-inch by 13-inch glass baking dish.
Stir in graham cracker crumbs and
press with a fork to make crust.
Bake for about 5 minutes in a pre-heated
200-F degree oven.
Set aside to cool.
Prepare the second layer by combining sugar, cream cheese, pineapple, and
prepared whipping cream in a large mixing bowl.
Beat with a mixer to
thoroughly combine all ingredients.
Spread the mixture evenly over the
top of the graham cracker crust.
Slice enough bananas to completely cover the pineapple-cream layer of
your dessert.
Prepare instant chocolate pudding with milk and pour mixture over the top
of the banana slices.
Refrigerate to set and store.
Just prior to serving, top with additional whipped cream, and sprinkle
with nuts and maraschino cherries.
Refrigerate to store.
