Ingredients

• 4 pieces Ripe bananas
• 12 sheets Graham crackers
• 3.9 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Cold milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0 Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers or chocolate shavings

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 2

Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form to create homemade whipped cream.

Step 4

Using a 9x9-inch baking dish, start assembling the layers. Begin with a single layer of graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom of the dish (break the sheets if necessary to fit).

Step 5

Spread one-third of the vanilla pudding over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of banana slices.

Step 6

Repeat the layers: graham crackers, pudding, and bananas, until you’ve completed 3 layers, finishing with the vanilla pudding on top.

Step 7

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the final pudding layer.

Step 8

Optionally, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or chocolate shavings on top as a garnish.

Step 9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, comforting dessert!
