For a richer flavor, consider using a cream cheese-based whipped topping. If you don't have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds would also work well. To prevent the bananas from browning, you can toss them with a little lemon juice before layering. Feel free to substitute other fruits such as sliced peaches, mandarin oranges, or blueberries. You can use a store-bought angel food cake or pound cake for a lighter option. If you are using fresh strawberries, toss them with a tablespoon of sugar and let them macerate for 30 minutes to release their juices.
