Every year my nana made this and I never wrote it down. So happy I found a recipe that’s almost like hers! (Page 2 ) | May 12, 2025

Beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth.
Fold in the whipped heavy cream.
Add the drained crushed pineapple, chopped strawberries or raspberries, and drained mandarin oranges.
Stir in the chopped pecans and halved maraschino cherries.
Toss the sliced bananas in the lemon juice to prevent browning, then fold them into the mixture.
Spread the mixture in a 9×13-inch pan, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then cut into squares.
Variations & Tips
For a lighter version, substitute with lower-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the mixture enhances their flavor and adds a lovely depth to the dessert. You can experiment with other fruits like blueberries or peaches for a different twist. For a more grown-up version, consider adding a splash of rum or a hint of vanilla extract to the mixture. This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to suit your taste and the ingredients you have on hand.
