Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 bananas, sliced
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust. Refrigerate to set while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Layer the sliced bananas, drained crushed pineapple, and sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the fruit.
Garnish with maraschino cherries, whipped cream, and nuts if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm.
Slice and serve chilled.
