BANANA SPLIT LUSH RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup walnut pieces in a single layer and toast for 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Spritz the bottom only of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. In a medium mixing bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs, remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and granulated sugar. Press firmly onto the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden and set. Cool completely. Whip together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, drained pineapple and 1 cup whipped topping. Whip for 2 minutes until fluffy and evenly combined. Spread evenly over the crust. Top with a layer of banana slices. Whip together both boxes of instant white chocolate pudding with 3 cups of cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened but still pourable. Pour over the bananas. Frost the top with the remaining whipped topping. Drizzle with chocolate fudge and garnish with the remaining toasted walnuts and maraschino cherries. Decorate as desired. Chill for at least 4 hours before cutting to allow the layers to set. Yield: 16 servings

BANANA SPLIT LUSH

Steps:

• Bottom Graham Cracker Crust (for a no bake crust option): In a medium-large bowl, mix melted and cooled unsalted butter with finely ground, processed graham crackers. Press into the bottom of a 13X9 pan. Cover and chill until the next layer is ready.
• Bottom Pecan Crust Layer (for traditional lush baked crust option): Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, melted and cooled butter, finely ground pecans and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes (25 mins works best for me) until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before adding any layers.
• Cream Cheese Layer(2nd layer): Using a hand electric mixer, combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1-2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (2 tablespoons works best for me). Mixture should be even and smooth. Spread evenly on top of the baked and cooled bottom pecan crust or no bake graham cracker crust.
• Banana Cream Pudding Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk and instant banana cream pudding mix until set. It may take 4-5 minutes to thicken. Spread evenly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
• Whipped & Toppings Layer: Using an offset spatula, spread thawed whipped topping on top of the banana cream pudding layer. Place the maraschino cherries and pineapple chunks on top of the whipped layer. For serving drizzle with chocolate sauce. Optionally, before serving you can serve with freshly sliced bananas. Optionally, you can freeze the Bananas Fosters Lush overnight (without the Bananas Fosters sauce) for more defined slices. Do not freeze if you substitute homemade whipped cream because it might not hold up like frozen whipped topping like Cool Whip.Enjoy!

NO BAKE STRAWBERRY LUSH DESSERT

Steps:

• Be sure to set out your cream cheese ahead of time, so it can soften. Then wash the strawberries, hull them, and prepare them, so they're ready to go.
• To make the Dream Whip filling, add the Dream Whip, milk, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk them together, according to package directions, 'til the mixture begins to form soft peaks. It'll take about 4 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese well.
• Then add both the cream cheese and the powdered sugar to the Dream Whip mixture, and whisk for about 3 to 5 minutes, or 'til smooth and creamy.
• To mix up the vanilla pudding, add both pudding mixes and the milk to a clean mixing bowl.
• Whisk them together for about 2 minutes, and let sit for 3 to 5 more minutes. The pudding will thicken up more as it sits.
• Layer vanilla wafers on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
• Spread the vanilla pudding over the vanilla wafers.
• Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the pudding.
• Then add a final layer of Dream Whip on top of the strawberries.
• Cover and refrigerate your strawberry shortcake lush for at least 4 hours before serving.
• When you're ready to serve the dessert, sprinkle chunked strawberries and cookie crumbs all over the top of the Dream Whip cream cheese layer.
• Then just scoop and serve! You can even add a dollop of whipped topping.
• Be sure to store this in the fridge if not serving right away. Keep any leftovers in the fridge, as well.
