Step 1: Make the crust. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the creamy filling. In a mixing bowl, beat powdered sugar and cream cheese until creamy and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Add vanilla pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the layers. Take the chilled crust out of fridge and spread half of the creamy filling over the crust. Layer the sliced bananas evenly over top. Spread the crushed pineapple over the bananas, followed by the chopped strawberries. Spread the remaining creamy mixture over the fruit layer, making sure to cover it completely.

Step 4: Add the toppings. Top the dessert with whipped topping, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese and pudding layer. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the dessert. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

Step 5: Refrigerate and serve. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
