Refreshingly revamped make-ahead ice cream treat.
Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup crushed chocolate graham crackers (8 squares)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 box (4-serving size) vanilla pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 3/4 cups Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh whole strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups 1/2-inch pieces fresh pineapple
Instructions:
  • Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Combine crushed crackers and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Mix in melted butter until mixture is crumbly and well combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the pan and freeze for about 10 minutes until firm.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the pudding mix, 1/2 cup sugar, and milk using a wire whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Blend ripe bananas into the creamy pudding mixture. Gently incorporate 1 cup of the airy whipped topping. Smooth this luscious combination over the crust, then let it freeze for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight for ultimate indulgence.
  • Divide into serving pieces and place on dessert plates. Drizzle each piece with 2 teaspoons of warm fudge topping, a generous dollop of remaining whipped topping, 2 tablespoons of strawberries, and 2 tablespoons of pineapple. Serve right away.
