Mom gave me a recipe a long time ago called “Banana Split Cake” and it is totally delicious. There is only one drawback to the recipe – there are three raw eggs in it and I do not eat raw eggs any more. That meant a little tweaking was required in order to enjoy the Banana Split Cake again and this is one version that uses cream cheese and no eggs. Alyssa was not very happy since she does not like cream cheese, so if you are like her, I have another version of this recipe that I will show you in the not too distant future. Until then, here is a very easy, quick and delicious recipe for my No Bake Banana Split Cake With Cream Cheese and No Eggs.
No Bake Banana Split Cake With Cream Cheese – No Eggs
Maybe “smoosh” is not the word I should use,
but I like that word.
and then flatten them in the pan
creating the bottom crust.
In another bowl add the sugar,
Do not stir! Just fold the mixture.
but spread the rest on top of the cookie crumbs.
creating the next layer.
Even if you do not eat bananas that have polka dots
of brown, these bananas are the sweetest.
Use the sweet banana in this recipe.
It just tastes better.
Pat them down with your hand to create a firm layer.
Yes, you do see pieces of pineapple mixed into this layer.
It was an accident.
Do not ask me how it happened.
No, I am not telling you.
and nestled amongst the nuts.
Delicious.
I would show you how a bite would look,
but my camera apparently has a full memory
and will not let me take another picture.
Since I did not think I would take 9,999 pictures so quickly,
I have not read how to delete them.
Sooooo, no room for a picture of me eating the Banana Split Cake.
How can I tempt you to the edge of sanity?!!!
I may just take a picture after I figure out my camera
and add it to this post later.

No Bake Banana Split Cake with Cream Cheese- No Eggs
Ingredients:
2 cups Vanilla Wafer cookie crumbs
1/4 cup (1 stick butter), melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 ounces Cool Whip whipped topping
1 can crushed pineapple, drained well
4 bananas, ripened and sliced
1 cup chopped pecans
1 jar maraschino cherries
Directions:
Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter. Spread and pack down on the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Fold in Cool Whip. Reserve 2 cups of this mixture and set aside.
Spread the remaining mixture over top of cookie crumbs. Sprinkle the pineapple over the mixture. Spread sliced bananas over the pineapple layer. Cover the bananas with the 2 cups of reserved cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with nuts. Arrange cherries 2 inches apart on top.
Chill for 6 hours. Keep refrigerated until served.
Good luck eating just a small piece and not going back for seconds.
Havnt made it yet, but it sounds like my new banana fave! And I so much love spotty bananas ;-)))
Sounds heavenly, but I don't care for cream cheese. LOL! God Bless,

I am here, gathering the recipe, already got the ingredients. Red's Banana Split Cake is going to a family reunion with me tomorrow!

I’m so glad you are going to try the recipe Heather! Let me know how it turns out!!! I’m SURE it will be a big hit. The only problem is people will eat too much!!! LOL
Does the lack of eggs from the original recipe being replaced with cream cheese change the texture
THANKS YOU FOR THE RECIPE I WILL BE TRYING IT OUT AZ WELL FOR EASTER DINNER
Brittany,
I don’t think I would like the candy nut in place of fresh pecans. The candy nut would be heavy compared to the light dessert. I’m glad you are trying it for Easter. Good luck practicing self-control and not eating too much LOL
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WET CANDY NUT MADE BY SMUCKERS INSTEAD OF DRY CHOPPED PECAN
this was the best cake i ever had in my life u was right it was gone in a hour
LOL Heather, I KNEW you would love it! This cake is DIVINE!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’m so glad I was able to make it just as yummy without the raw eggs. Now I have no qualms about making it.
I found this recipe and me my 5 yr old granddaughter made it today..waiting..waiting AND waiting for time to eat it..taste delish from what was on my finger & my granddaughter Ashley said it was yummmm..she got the spoons taken care of by licking them clean almost..lol
😉 Alyssa and I have licked the spoons cleaned too many times LOL I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the recipe.

😀 I’m so glad you all enjoyed it. I knew you would because this recipe is just SO DELICIOUS! All I have to do is see the picture and I swear I can smell it! LOL
My mom and aunts use to make this every holiday except they used graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers. Yummy!
😀 Very yummy!
Hi. I was trying to send a friend mine the recipe for Banana Split cake, when I thought I would try finding it on the internet, and it came up with you. Thank you so much! This is wonderful, as I am afraid of the raw eggs in mine. I would like to say that mine also has the graham cracker crust (2 cups graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine., pressed in bottom of pan. Also, nobody says anything about sliced strawberries (which I think should be in there!).
I would like to recommend freezing any leftovers, as one time I had half a pan left and just put foil over it and stuck it in the freezer. Two months later got it out ( I thought to throw away) and it was intact and still wonderful.
Strawberries sound yummy, but they are kind of extra juicy, so I’m not sure how they would hold up.
I’m so glad y ou found me, Sondra. Yes, it tastes great if you eat it frozen instead of thawing it out. I love it that way!
Visit any time! 🙂

My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed the post!
This really looks good! I love that it’s no bake and no eggs! Stopping by from Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop. Thanks for linking this up!
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by Carrie!
My mom made this all the time. She used the graham crackers also, and she drizzled hershey syrup on top. I think once she added a little peanut butter to the cream cheese also just cause I love peanut butter, she used the chunky kind. OH and great save on putting the whip topping before the bananas, LOL
also because the pineapple is so runny we drained it good then poured it out on paper towels to remove more of the liquid from it
That’s definitely draining it well! 😀
It is truly such a yummy and refreshing dessert. Adding chocolate on top – I mean, how can you go wrong with chocolate? LOL Glad you enjoyed the post.
Looks Yummy! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! <3
You’re welcome! It IS waaaay yummy!!!
