Steps:
- Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Firmly press graham cracker mixture onto bottom of prepared baking dish. Freeze, uncovered, while you prepare filling.
- Beat cream cheese and room temperature butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and 2 cups of the powdered sugar, and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Remove baking dish from freezer, and spoon cream cheese mixture over graham cracker mixture, smoothing with a spatula.
- Spoon drained crushed pineapple over cream cheese mixture, and top with sliced bananas. Beat heavy cream and remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Spoon 3 1/2 cups of the whipped cream over bananas, spreading into even layer. Sprinkle with pecans, and drizzle with hot fudge topping.
- Spoon remaining 1/2 cup whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, and pipe small rosettes over top of cake. Top each rosette with a maraschino cherry. Refrigerate, uncovered, until layers are set, about 2 hours. Garnish with sprinkles just before serving.
