When I look at my kids with their foreheads glistening with sweat, and their bangs sticking on the sides of their face, I know that summer has very much settled in.

I have no complaints. Most of the year we are wrapped in layers of thick jackets and high boots. Come January and February, we have had too much of winter that we long for the wonderful colors of spring, and the beautiful heat of summer.

And summer is relatively a short period of time. We are savoring it as much as we can. One delicious way to enjoy it is this. Banana Split Icebox Cake.

This plus an inflatable pool in the backyard, and the warm, thick air touching our skin, a total treat. And in the words of my daughter- This is the life!

How to Make Banana Split Icebox Cake

Banana Split Icebox Cake does not require an oven. That is the beauty of icebox cakes especially on hot summer days when you don’t want to add to the heat by turning on your oven.

All you need are a few ingredients and some assembling. This pretty dessert will be ready without much effort.

The graham crackers make up the layers of this dessert. To start, arrange 4 sheets of crackers in a way that their long sides are touching side by side.

Arranging 4 pieces of graham crackers to form the base of the banana split icebox cake.

You can use any large serving dish with a flat bottom. Next, pipe some of the cream mixture over the graham crackers.

The Cream Mixture is made of:

  • Whipped Topping-these are the ones that you buy frozen. Thaw before using.
  • SourĀ  Cream
  • Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (the powder form).
  • Drained Pineapples

Transfer this mixture in a piping bag or a large Ziploc. After piping, level the cream using an angled spatula. You will have a total of six layers for the cake, so use the cream in appropriate amounts for each layer.

The whipped cream mixture piped onto the graham layer, and the bananas are arranged across the surface.

Arrange the bananas over the cream. Make a second layer of crackers by arranging another 4 sheets of graham crackers over the bananas. Pipe some more cream, arrange more bananas.

Repeat the layering process until you have your final sixth layer of crackers. For the final layer, we stop at the cream, reserving the banana and raspberries topping upon serving. RefrigerateĀ the dessert for 24 hours, until the crackers are soft.

Six total layers of the banana split icebox cake with the final one topped with the cream mixture. This will be chilled in the fridge overnight before adding the toppings.

Upon serving, top the cake with more banana slices and some raspberries. Drizzle chocolate syrup and serve.

Slice by slice, we enjoy this delightful banana split icebox cake in its creamy decadence, like how we enjoy summer day by day, in our slippers, blowing bubbles in the yard.
