👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the cream layer:
   In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
   Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until creamy and fluffy.
2. Layer the cake:
   • In a 9×13-inch dish, lay a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
   • Spread a layer of cream mixture over the crackers.
   • Arrange a layer of banana slices on top.
   • Repeat layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with the cream layer on top.
3. Add toppings:
   Drizzle chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup over the top.
   Sprinkle with chopped nuts and top each serving with a maraschino cherry.
4. Chill:
   Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until firm. This helps the graham crackers soften into cake-like layers.
5. Serve:
   Slice into squares and enjoy the creamy, fruity, chocolatey goodness! 🍌🍫🍓

💡 Ashley’s Tips:

• For extra chocolatey flavor, sprinkle mini chocolate chips between the layers.
• Swap strawberry syrup for fresh strawberries or even cherry pie filling.
• For a tropical twist, add a few slices of pineapple between layers! 🍍
