Ingredients
Crust
1 box (11 oz/312 g) vanilla wafers, finely crushed
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Cream-cheese layer
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tub (8 oz/225 g) whipped topping, thawed
Fruit layer
3 ripe bananas, sliced
2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
1 can (21 oz/595 g) strawberry pie filling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping
1 tub (8 oz/225 g) whipped topping
½ cup crushed vanilla wafers
Fresh strawberries and banana slices
White chocolate or vanilla drizzle, optional
Instructions
Combine the crushed vanilla wafers with the melted butter. Reserve ½ cup of crumbs for decorating.
Press the remaining mixture firmly into a 9 × 13-inch (23 × 33 cm) glass dish. Chill for 15 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in one tub of whipped topping.
Spread the cream-cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
Toss the banana slices with lemon juice to slow browning. Arrange them over the cream layer.
Combine the strawberries with the strawberry pie filling, then spread evenly over the bananas.
Cover with the remaining whipped topping. Decorate with wafer crumbs, strawberries, banana slices, and an optional drizzle.
Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight. Serve cold.
Tip: Add the banana garnish immediately before serving so it stays fresh and beautiful.
