I got the basic recipe from Wanda's Country Home, but I added bananas and strawberries instead of using just strawberries.
4 Layer Strawberry-Banana Dessert
Heat oven to 350°. Lightly butter 9x13 inch baking dish.
First Layer:
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup butter, room temp.
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until small bean size crumbs; stir in chopped nuts. Pour into prepared dish pressing down with fingertips.
Bake for 20 min. Cool completely.
Second Layer:
1 (8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Cool Whip topping
Mix and spread on cooled crust. Chill.
Third Layer:
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups 7-Up, Sprite, or seltzer
1/2 cup water
1 (3-oz pkg.) strawberry-banana Jell-O
1 1/2 to 2 quarts sliced strawberries and bananas
Combine sugar, cornstarch, carbonated beverage, salt, and water together in sauce pan and cook until thickened.
While still hot, add dry Jell-O into mixture. ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY.
Add strawberries and bananas. Mix.
Pour over cream cheese layer. Chill until firm.
Top with Cool Whip and chopped pecans and/or slivers of chocolate.
