Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 6 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  2. In the medium bowl of an electric mixer combine confectioners sugar, eggs, and softened butter or margarine; beat at medium speed for 20 minutes. (This step is important, so don't try to save time).
