Step-by-Step Instructions for No Bake Banana Split Cake
- In a stand mixer, blend 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and two boxes of instant banana pudding mix on high speed until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, incorporate 10 ounces of Cool Whip and 2 cups of milk into the cream mixture. Mix on medium speed until thickened and well-combined, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Spread a layer of remaining Cool Whip evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, then line the base with graham crackers.
- Pour one-third of the prepared pudding mixture over the graham crackers, repeating layers until you have three total layers.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of mixed nuts ice cream topping over the final pudding layer.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- Once set, pipe store-bought vanilla icing decoratively on top, garnishing with maraschino cherries and rainbow sprinkles.
- Heat half a container of chocolate icing in the microwave for 30 seconds, then drizzle it generously over the cake.
- Slice the cake into squares and serve chilled, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Use an electric mixer for consistent texture and allow the cake to freeze for the full time for optimal results.
