How lucky we are to be able and sample Sandra's delicious recipes.
Her stories sure bring a lot of memories. 
I must have moved that Easy Bake  around 1,000 times but now I'm very happy I did.
It was bought at the Beamish Store  in Vankleek Hill, (on sale after Christmas )
in 1971 I think..I've been storing it for her for almost 50 years. So now it's back where it belongs
to the original owner. Keep up the good work...…….Love , Mom  xox

Love this on a hot summer day sitting on the back deck. Thanks!!

No-Bake Banana Split Cake brings together all the favorite toppings you expect to find in a banana split: banana, pineapple, maraschino cherry, nuts, and whipped cream. The base is a no-bake, made from scratch,  graham cracker crust covered with a sweetened cream cheese filling. 

cream cheese (softened)

confectioner’s sugar

unsalted butter (softened)

vanilla extract

pineapple

bananas

whipped topping (thawed)

pecans

mini chocolate chip morsels

maraschino cherries (drained)

Melt butter and sugar in a saucepan.  Remove from heat. Stir graham cracker crumbs into melted butter mixture.

Press graham cracker crumb mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray or coated with butter. Place in freezer for one hour.

Beat together cream cheese, unmelted butter, and confectioners sugar until smooth and fluffy.  Mix in vanilla extract.

Slice bananas into reserved pineapple juice. Stir to coat each banana slice with juice. Set aside.

Remove graham cracker crust from freezer.  Spread cream cheese mixture over crust.

Drain bananas from pineapple juice.  Layer bananas evenly over cream cheese filling.

Sprinkle crushed pineapple evenly over bananas. Top with whipped topping and spread evenly.

Add chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and drained maraschino cherries on top of whipped cream.  Chill thoroughly before serving.

I love no bake dessert recipes. This truly has flavors reminiscent of a banana split. I’ll make this one again.
