Banana Split Pie

I recently went to a friend's Philly Cream Cheese House Party and we each got to make and bring our favorite dessert. I of course brought my favorite Banana Split Pie! My granny used to make it when I was a kid and I made her make it all the time! So I had to learn to make it, and I did! I tied for winner of the best dessert brought, but it was by far NOT the best to me, they were ALL really good!
Here is what you need to make this YUMMY pie!



1 - Ready Made Grahan Cracker Crust (I would say two because I always get 2 pies out of this receipe)
1- 8 oz package of cream cheese - softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 small can crushed pineapple - drained really really well (I put in strainer and push push push out all the juice)
1 lb of bananas, sliced
1 container cool whip, thawed
1 small jar maraschino cherries
1 tablespool walnuts, crushed


Prep:
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.




Spoon into pie crust. Not too much because you wont have room for the rest of the ingredients.(this is why I say it will make 2 pies)





Next, layer each remaining ingredient in order: Pineapple



sliced bananas



cool whip





Top with Cherries and walnuts. (I slice the rinse the cherries well, if you dont the top of the cool whip will run red from the cherry dye)






Let this sit in the fridge for 1 hour.


YUMMMMM!
