It’s perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion when you want a cool, refreshing dessert!

Ingredients:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar

4 bananas, sliced
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Optional: chopped nuts for topping
Instructions:

Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create a crust. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well blended. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust.

Add the Banana Layer: Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Add the Pineapple and Strawberry Layer: Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas, followed by an even layer of sliced strawberries.

Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the entire dessert, creating a smooth top layer.

Garnish: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top, sprinkle with optional chopped nuts, and place maraschino cherries on top as desired.

Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results) to allow the flavors to meld. Cut into squares and serve cold.

Notes:

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
You can also add or substitute other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid a soggy dessert.

Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup crushed Doritos (choose your favorite flavor)
8 sticks of mozzarella cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Prepare the coating: Place the crushed Doritos, flour, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs in another dish.
Coat the cheese: First, roll a mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then roll it in the crushed Doritos. For extra crunch, you can double dip by repeating the egg and Doritos coating step.
Chill: Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps the coating to set and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly when fried.
Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the cheese sticks: Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Drain: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve: Enjoy your Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
