Mom gave me a recipe a long time ago called “Banana Split Cake” and it is totally delicious. There is only one drawback to the recipe – there are three raw eggs in it and I do not eat raw eggs any more. That meant a little tweaking was required in order to enjoy the Banana Split Cake again and this is one version that uses cream cheese and no eggs. Alyssa was not very happy since she does not like cream cheese, so if you are like her, I have another version of this recipe that I will show you in the not too distant future. Until then, here is a very easy, quick and delicious recipe for my No Bake Banana Split Cake With Cream Cheese and No Eggs.
No Bake Banana Split Cake With Cream Cheese – No Eggs
Maybe “smoosh” is not the word I should use,
but I like that word.
and then flatten them in the pan
creating the bottom crust.
softened cream cheese,
Do not stir! Just fold the mixture.
but spread the rest on top of the cookie crumbs.
creating the next layer.
Even if you do not eat bananas that have polka dots
of brown, these bananas are the sweetest.
Use the sweet banana in this recipe.
It just tastes better.
Pat them down with your hand to create a firm layer.
Yes, you do see pieces of pineapple mixed into this layer.
It was an accident.
Do not ask me how it happened.
No, I am not telling you.
and nestled amongst the nuts.
Delicious.
I would show you how a bite would look,
but my camera apparently has a full memory
and will not let me take another picture.
Since I did not think I would take 9,999 pictures so quickly,
I have not read how to delete them.
Sooooo, no room for a picture of me eating the Banana Split Cake.
How can I tempt you to the edge of sanity?!!!
I may just take a picture after I figure out my camera
and add it to this post later.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WET CANDY NUT MADE BY SMUCKERS INSTEAD OF DRY CHOPPED PECAN
Brittany,
I don’t think I would like the candy nut in place of fresh pecans. The candy nut would be heavy compared to the light dessert. I’m glad you are trying it for Easter. Good luck practicing self-control and not eating too much LOL

LOL Heather, I KNEW you would love it! This cake is DIVINE!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’m so glad I was able to make it just as yummy without the raw eggs. Now I have no qualms about making it.
