Banana Split Icebox Cake

does one box of the instant cheesecake mixes cover the bottom of the dish ? and use the other one for the filling ?

can you see this post Chester ?

well does it ?

I'm going to pick the stuff up this coming week bella,so be ready

where does on find the Jello brand instant cheesecake in the grocery store ? in the cake mixes ?

I suppose you can use them that way.
I just mix both cheesecake mixes together, since it's a large pan, one mixed packet wont cover that size pan.

And it depends on where in the store, the stockboys put the stuff....I mean, how their store is laid out.

I've seen these mixes on the same isle as cake mixes.
I've seen these on the same isle as flour.
I've seen these on the same isle as breads and cookies.

Usually though, they are on the baking isle with the cake mixes.
Usually on the top shelf or the bottom shelf, but again....depends on how the store has them laid out.

You don't HAVE to make the large version.

You can cut this recipe in half if it's just for you.

Which means using a pan half the size of the 9x13 pan.

this is all I need for the crust and filling,right ?

2 boxes of Jello brand instant cheesecake (plain)

well if it is great I will pass some of it along

 

[justme4910]

I've started it

it is in the oven right now for a few minutes

well i bought chunked pineapple instead of the crushed and I forgot to buy some pecans to top it with,but I do have some peanuts and there weren't any cherries that I could find in the canned fruit aisle,so none of them

and yes Chester I ate the ones I had bought at a different store a couple of weeks ago

which it isn't to bad,since I had left my shopping list at home lol

I'm waiting on the crust to cool off now

 

[justme4910]

hmmmm gotta wait at least 2 hours ? here are some more pictures,it has been pretty easy so far,I know,I know famous last words lol

time for some blending

time to pouy the cheesecake mixture over the crust and nanners

time for some spreading

I'm impressed Chester,it actually fits my dish

so far

and the cheesecake mixture taste great from licking the beater lol

 

[justme4910]

I'm still not sure if I'm going to use the pea nuts instead of pecans,I guess they will be all right

what do ya'll think about it ?

 

[justme4910]

well rats,I forgot to thaw the cool whip,i wonder how long that will take ?

 

[justme4910]

I've finally gotten it done

no idea why the cool whip came out looking green in the picture

looks like a bit to many roasted peanuts,it is sitting in the fridge now

I will let ya'll know how it comes out later ,after it has sit for awhile

 

[justme4910]

and I need a dish that size with a lid too,i'll have to saran wrap it and it will make a mess of the topping most likely
