-
Prepare the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch or 8×8 inch dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. -
Make the Cream Layer:
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and creamy. -
Assemble the Layers:
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust. Layer with sliced bananas and strawberries. Add the remaining cream cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly to cover the fruit layer. -
Top and Garnish:
Sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top for texture. Arrange additional banana slices and strawberries, then drizzle generously with chocolate syrup or hot fudge.ADVERTISEMENT

Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set beautifully. -
Serve:
Slice into squares and serve chilled. For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or a cherry on top before serving.
