Banana Split No Bake Ice Box Cake

I love making No Bake Ice Box Cakes. They are truly so simple and so tasty for the summer!  There are endless varieties, too, which is always fun. They are a perfect dish to bring to that summer picnic or BBQ, too.

Icebox cakes became popular during the 20s and 30s about the same time as trifles and charlotte russe. The dessert was originally made with chocolate wafers and whipped cream and has evolved to graham crackers and pudding. Layering these products produces a delicious dessert.  It was one of the first "back-of-box recipes" featured by the products in the cake.

I modified a recipe I found at Spend With Pennies .  I modified because I wanted a smaller cake, and two, I wanted to create a less sugar version of the one on the blog.  Let's see how to make this delicious cake.
