Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Pie:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries over the pineapple layer.

4. Top and Garnish:
- Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top, covering the fruit layers completely.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the Cool Whip layer.
- Decorate with maraschino cherries as desired.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for a final touch.

5. Chill the Pie:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
