This was a hit at our church fellowship... I added a bit of shredded coconut on top of the pineapple, left off the bananas on top but did add chopped pecans. DELISHHHHH!!

It was delicious but i was hoping for something different that i have'nt had before..it taste to much like bananna pudding..the cream cheese gave it a little boost but not enough...i will just keep making my own home made bananna pudding in stead of this...

Sooo good, everyone loved it. Instead of adding more bananas on top, I added sliced strawberries.
