Creating No-Bake Banana Split Cake is simple and quick when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.

2. Form the Base Layer: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.

3. Create the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

4. Add Whipping Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

5. Spread the Cream Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.

6. Layer with Bananas: Place the sliced bananas evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.

7. Add Pineapple: Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the banana layer, distributing it evenly.

8. Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the chocolate syrup over the pineapple layer, ensuring even coverage.

9. Add Nuts (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the chocolate layer.

10. Final Layer: Top it all with a generous layer of whipped cream, smoothing it to create an even surface.

11. Chill the Cake: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.

12. Serve: Before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries on top.
