When I was a kid banana splits were my favorite treat. Three types of ice cream, a banana, strawberry and pineapple topping, hot fudge, nuts, whipped cream, and of course a cherry on top.
What’s not to love? I don’t have enough banana split goodness in my life these days and that’s what inspired this Banana Split Cheesecake Salad. It has all of the flavors of that classic dessert in fruit salad form.
Hi I’m Kat from Home. Made. Interest. and I’m here today to share with you my love of all things banana split. If you share my passion for strawberry, pineapple, banana, and chocolate make sure you check out my Banana Split Poke Cake and Banana Split Cookie Cups.
How do you make Banana Split Cheesecake Salad?
Since this is a fruit salad we skip the ice cream and instead fill a bowl full of fresh strawberries, pineapples, bananas, sweet maraschino cherries, and crunchy chopped peanuts.
Then we top the fruit with a rich, creamy cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, cheesecake pudding mix, and coffee creamer (you can substitute heavy cream if you prefer).
The ingredients are whipped until they make a smooth filling and then it is poured over the fruit and everything is folded together.

Helpful Tips to make Banana Split Cheesecake Salad:
- To keep the bananas from turning brown toss them (and the strawberries and pineapples) in lemon juice before adding them to the cheesecake salad.
- Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way.
- If you choose to substitute heavy cream for the creamer, use 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- If the consistency is a little thick you can add a splash or two more of creamer to get it to a pourable, consistency.
- Before adding the maraschino cherries drain the juice and pat them dry. That way the juice won’t color the whole fruit salad red!
What you will need to make Banana Split Cheesecake Salad:

Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries

- In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, banana coins, pineapples, and lemon juice. Stir until all the fruit is coated with lemon juice. Add the maraschino cherries and chopped peanuts.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup right before serving. Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.
