Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, mix together the crumbs, 1/4 c. sugar, and the butter; press onto bottom of a 13x9-inch pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- 2. Beat 2 (8 oz) cream cheese and remaining 1 c. sugar with an electric mixer until well blended and smooth. Spread mixture over the crust; top with the pineapple. Slice 4 of the bananas and arrange over the pineapple.
- 3. Pour the milk into a large bowl. Add the pudding mixes and beat with a whisk for 2 minutes or until well blended and the mixture thickens. Stir in 1 cup of Cool Whip; spread mixture over the banana layer. Arrange the sliced strawberries over the pudding layer.
- 4. Beat the remaining 6 oz. cream cheese and remaining 1 cup Cool Whip together until smooth; spread over the strawberry layer. Sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate for 5 hours. Just before serving, slice the remaining 2 bananas and arrange over the dessert.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Use your favorite ice cream and toppings. You can customize the cake to your own liking by using different flavors of ice cream and toppings.
