Can I freeze this No Bake Banana Split Lush?

Lush cakes freeze beautifully. Just wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.  Let them thaw an hour before serving. 

What else can I top this with?

I like to top this with the traditional banana split toppings like whipped cream, hot fudge cherries and sprinkles.  But you can also top it with walnuts, pineapple ice cream topping, crushed up waffle cones. 

Can I use other cookies for the crust?

Yes!  You can use crushed-up vanilla wafers or oreo cookies, just keep the same amount. 

 

Ingredients used

●Graham cracker crumbs- You can crush your own, but I do cheat and use the precrushed ones.
● Butter- Every good dessert starts with butter. 
● Cream cheese-  Make sure this is softened, it makes mixing so much easier.
● Powdered sugar-This helps sweetened things up.
● Instant banana pudding- Make sure you get instant and not cook and serve pudding. 
● Milk-  I like to use whole milk but you can use whatever milk you drink. 
● Whipped topping- just like a real banana split this gets topped with delicious whipped cream.
● Hot fudge, sprinkles, cherries-  All the best toppings for this banana split cake.
