Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter and pressing into a 9x13 glass dish. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer by blending softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  3. Assemble the layers by spreading the cream cheese mixture over the crust, layering sliced bananas and crushed pineapple, then spreading Cool Whip or whipped cream on top.
  4. Finish with toppings by sprinkling chopped nuts, arranging maraschino cherries, drizzling hot fudge sauce, and adding rainbow sprinkles.
  5. Chill the dessert covered for at least 4 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
