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.
