Description

This easy, no-bake cake is a cross between a banana split and a shortcake. It's made with layers of Twinkies, sliced bananas, crushed pineapple, instant pudding and Cool Whip.

Ingredients

• 7 Hostess Twinkies from 1 box of 10
• 4 bananas, peeled and sliced
• 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, well drained
• 3 oz. box INSTANT vanilla, French vanilla, or banana pudding mix
• 2 c. cold milk
• 8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
• maraschino cherries, drained on a paper towel
• chopped nuts
• chocolate syrup, optional

Steps

1. Remove about 7 Twinkies from their wrappers. Slice each in half, horizontally.
2. Place halved Twinkies in a 9 × 13 inch pan/dish, cream side up. Layer sliced bananas on top of Twinkies. Spread the drained, crushed pineapples on top of the bananas.
3. In a medium bowl, combine instant pudding mix with the cold milk. Use a mixer or a whisk to combine, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. It should be thick but pourable.
