Banana Split Pie
I’m visiting with my dad and his wife at his house on the Shenandoah River. Dad is retired, but his wife is not, so I often offer to do the cooking while I am here. Tonight I am just doing rosemary chicken breasts, roasted red potatoes and greens. Dessert will be fun, though. Dad handed me a recipe to “look at”, which means he wants me to make it. And so I will.
Banana Split Pie
Ingredients:
2 bananas sliced
8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
1.5 teaspoons vanilla
8 oz. Whipped Topping
8 maraschino cherries, drained
prepared graham cracker pie shell
1.5 cups powdered sugar
1 cup crushed pineapple
.5 cup chopped pecans
chocolate syrup
Preparation:
- Line the bottom and sides of prepared pie shell with sliced bananas.
- Whip the cream cheese with a blender and slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla.
- When cream cheese mixture is fluffy, stir in drained pineapple and mix well
- Fold whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
- Put final cream cheese mixture into the pie shell.
- Sprinkle nuts on top and then place drained cherries on top of the nuts.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup on the nearly completed pie.
- Chill for one hour before serving.
If I think about it, I will take a picture. 
I’m going to make my own pie shell. It’s tastier fresh. And, I may add some real whipped cream to the top of the cream cheese mixture before topping it with cherries, nuts and chocolate syrup.
