Step by Step Method
Step 1
Make the banana pudding by whisking together the pudding mix and milk according to package directions.
Step 2
Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Step 3
Add 1/2 a cup of banana pudding to cream cheese mixture and mix until incorporated.
Step 4
Fold in 2/3 of the cool whip to cream cheese mixture.
Step 5
TO BEGIN THE LAYERS: put a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. You might have to break some to fill in the gaps. I used about one sleeve per layer (there were 3 in the box).
Step 6
Top graham crackers with half of the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly.
Step 7
Top cream cheese mixture with a layer of thinly sliced strawberries.
Step 8
Top strawberries with 1/2 of the banana pudding. Spread into an even layer
Step 9
Add another layer of graham crackers.
Step 10
Top with the other half of the cream cheese mixture and spread into an even layer.
Step 11
Top with pineapple tidbits and cherries.
Step 12
Add remaining banana pudding and spread into an even layer.
Step 13
Add another layer of graham crackers.
Step 14
Top with remaining 1/3 of cool whip and spread into an even, thin layer.
Step 15
Top with chocolate and caramel sauce and walnuts.
Step 16
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until ready to serve (the graham crackers will soften as it sits and the flavors will meld together).
