Great dessert! I made this a couple of months ago for a backyard bbq with friends. The leftovers were sent home with my son. We`re planning on having a backyard birthday bash for him tomorrow, he specifically requested this dessert for his " Birthday cake" So I`m in the process of softening the cream cheese now to get an early start on all of the cooking. Thanks so much for this great recipe!

This is an excellent recipe. It is very refreshing and tastes just like a bananna split. It is very good any time of the year but especially good in the summertime.
