 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed banana (roughly 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped strawberries
  • Hot fudge sauce and whipped cream, for garnish
  • 12 maraschino cherries with stems

 Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  2. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of crumbs into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla then beat in the banana, pineapple, and strawberries.
  4. Fill each liner with the batter and bake 23-25 minutes or until the tops are firm when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Right before serving, top with whipped cream, hot fudge sauce, and cherries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
