Banana Split Cake

My cousin Sally first made this slice of heaven about 10 years ago and I have LOVED it ever since. About three years ago I made it and took to my mom's house for Christmas - where my Aunt Cheryl got hold of it - now guess what I have to bring EVERY year for Christmas to mom's?

Cast of Characters:
1 box of Nilla Wafers
2 sticks of butter
½ cup of sugar
2 eggs
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
½ tsp of salt
3 bananas
1 pt of strawberries
1 can crushed pineapple (WELL drained)
1 large tub of cool wHip
1 bag of Toll House Mini-Morsels

Crush the wafers, by whatever means necessary (I use my food processor). Melt butter, add crushed wafers, sugar and butter to a 9x13 pan, mix until well combined. Bake for 20 minutes in a 350° oven. COOL COMPLETELY!!! I can not emphasize this enough!!!

Set the butter and eggs out until they are at room temperature. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add the butter. Mix on hgh speed until well blended, add the powdered sugar and mix slowly until all the sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla and salt, then beat on HIGH for no less than 20 minutes!!! Put mixture on the completely cooled crust, refrigerate over night.

Slice the bananas, and strawberries, drain the pineapple in a colandar, then put it into a kitchen towel and squeeze out the last of the juice. Layer bananas, berries, and pineapple. Cover with cool wHip, and top with morsels.
