Banana Split Pie
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!
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.
