Banana Split Cake

What a yummy, delightful dessert! Again, this is one of those desserts you can be creative with. You can change the cream cheese layer to be more of a pudding layer, etc. You could put a layer of strawberry pie filling on top of the pineapple layer. You could add chopped peanuts too! My girls loved it - one thought it needed more chocolate (as did I) and my hubby thought it needed more texture in the middle - just a few thoughts. All in all, we totally enjoyed this and I know you will too!
