Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- Additional strawberries and bananas for garnish (optional)
Cream Mixture
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Layer the Fruit: Place half of the sliced strawberries and bananas into the bottom of the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading them evenly.
- Add Cream Mixture: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the layer of fruit, smoothing it out evenly.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat with the remaining sliced strawberries and bananas, then top with the remaining cream mixture. Smooth the top for a neat finish.
- Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 3 to 4 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the top with extra fresh strawberries and banana slices if desired to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle mini chocolate chips between the layers for added flavor and texture.
- Best served the same day to prevent bananas from browning and maintain freshness.
- The dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days without significant loss of quality.
