List of Ingredients
Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 eggs

Recipe
Procedure
Combine cracker crumbs and melted butter/margarine thoroughly and press into bottom of 9x12" baking pan. Chill in freezer for at least 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl of electric mixer combine confectioners sugar, eggs and softened butter/margarine; beat at medium speed for 20 minutes. This step is important, so do not try to save time.
Spread butter cream mixture evenly over chilled crust. Place bananas, cut side down, evenly on top of butter cream and spoon crushed pineapple evenly over top of bananas. Distribute strawberries over pineapple and spread whipped topping evenly all over. Sprinkle with walnuts and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
Slenderizing Note: This is easy enough by substituting the whipped topping with fat-free topping. Sugar substitute may be used for sweetening, but not for the "sprinkling garnish," which is easy on the calories anyway. Be sure fruits are packed in natural juices, of course. Butter/margarine substitute may be used as well, but be sure to spray the pan with cooking spray before doing the crust. Enjoy!
