Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the No-Bake Banana Split Cheesecake up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator to keep the layers firm and fresh. It's ideal for planning ahead for parties or gatherings.

Can I use fresh whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Absolutely. Fresh whipped cream can be used in your No-Bake Banana Split Cheesecake for a more natural flavor. Whip it to stiff peaks and stabilize it with powdered sugar to keep it from deflating.

Is there a gluten-free option?

Yes. Simply use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust. This allows your No-Bake Banana Split Cheesecake to be enjoyed by guests who follow a gluten-free diet, as long as all toppings are also safe.

Can I freeze banana split cheesecake?

It’s possible, but not preferred. Freezing may change the texture of the fresh bananas and strawberries. If you must freeze your No-Bake Banana Split Cheesecake , do so without the fruit, and add toppings only after thawing.
