- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained well
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted, melted

Here’s a family friendly dessert that’s perfect for summer potlucks, picnics and family reunions. You can’t have too many desserts at those kinds of get-togethers, and this sweet and fruity dessert always scores well with young and old.
Why Try? This is a dessert that can be made ahead of time (in fact, it must be). So that makes it a good choice for potlucks and such.
Foodie Byte: It’s very important to get the pineapple as dry as possible. Once you drain it, lay it out on a cloth towel, roll it up and squeeze it dry.
Preparation
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter. Press into a 13x9x2 pan.
- Combine sugar and eggs. Spread on top of graham crackers in pan.
- Place well drained pineapple on top of the sugar and eggs.
- Place sliced bananas on top of the pineapple.
- Cover with whipping cream.
- Chill at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
