Forgot I needed a cake to bring to work today so I needed something easy to make, but I wanted something different. While the filling mixture was mixing in the mixer, I prepared the rest of the ingredients. By time the filling was done (20 minutes), I had the crust made, the pineapple dejuiced and the bananas peeled (I used 5), sliced and dipped in lemon juice. This was so easy to make and DELICIOUS! It looked so good that after 2 hours chilling, the gang at work dug in. Everyone is raving about how good it is. And, it really does taste like a banana split minus the ice cream. This is a keeper in our house (and office - they want me to make this for the next birthday). Thanks Veronica!
