Notes

• Make sure the crushed pineapple is well drained to prevent the dessert from becoming soggy.
• Chill the cake for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) so the layers set properly.
• You can substitute graham crackers with vanilla wafer crumbs for a different flavor.
• Add chopped walnuts or peanuts on top for a classic banana split taste.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
