Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box instant banana cream pudding mix (3.4 oz) and 1 3/4 cups skim milk until fully combined and smooth.
Add 1 box white cake mix (15.25 oz) to the pudding mixture and stir with a large spoon or whisk until fully incorporated into a thick, smooth batter. Stir in 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips. Set aside.
In another large bowl, combine 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries, 2 bananas (sliced), 1 cup chopped pineapple, and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir to combine, then let the fruit macerate for at least 5 minutes.
Pour the macerated fruit into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan and spread into an even, thin layer.
Spoon or spread the cake batter evenly over the fruit, smoothing the top with a spatula or spoon (the batter will be thick).
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–60 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly (about 10–15 minutes). Serve warm, topped with whipped cream if desired.
