Banana Split Icebox Cake
One day a friend showed me how to make a traditional icebox cake with just cream and graham crackers. I make it extra special with the fruit. Now everyone at your potluck can have a banana split, no muss, no fuss! —Shelly Flye, Albion, Maine

Delicious. This is a keeper. I used 5 bananas
I have made this many, many times over the years, and it is always a hit. The only thing I do differently is that I do not go to the trouble of piping the pudding mixture. I just spread it over each layer with a spatula. Piping it involves more time and work than I want to incur. You can't see the piping anyway.
Banana splits is my husbands favorite treat. My family loved this desert. I personally thought it was pretty good (4 stars), but I'm more of a cookie person and don't normally go for these types of desserts. However, my family raved and it was easy to make, so I'll be making this again. I used coconut instant pudding instead of vanilla which was tasty. I also ended up using a lot more bananas than the recipe called for. I made this in 9x9 foil disposable pan which allowed me to make 3 layers and I used a total of 5 bananas to cover all the layers and top my cake.
Show stopping dessert at parties!
so good and really really easy. thank you so much
Made it using chocolate grahams crackers (can never have to much chocolate!) and was awesome!
It is wonderful. Serve it first, because you will have finished your meal. Have you heard " Eat dessert first:Life is short. moonbeam36
I made this for my family and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it and a couple of them even wanted seconds. It is a very nice alternative to baking something when it is hot outside. I followed the recipe exactly and it was very easy to put together. I will definitely be making this again.
I made this for my office potluck for pre-labor day and it was devoured in no time! It is very easy to make also!
Great recipe and is very similar to the Ice Box Cake recipe that we have used for years at Christmas with chocolate wafers instead of graham crackers! So happy to have found this one to use for the summer months.
