Ingredients
Scale
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup maraschino cherries, halved
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, slightly cooled
1/2 cup toasted almonds, chopped
Extra banana slices, for garnish
Whole maraschino cherries, for topping
Chocolate coins or chips, for garnish
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Freeze the crust for 20 minutes to set.
In a large bowl, fold together the softened vanilla ice cream, sliced bananas, halved cherries, and drained crushed pineapple.
Spread the mixture evenly over the frozen crust.
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
Drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the surface and gently swirl with a knife.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving, garnish with fresh banana slices, whole cherries, chopped almonds, and chocolate coins or chips.
Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
Drain fruits thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the cheesecake.
Soften ice cream just enough to be easily spreadable.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based ice cream and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Top bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
