Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup caramel sauce
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 0.25 cup chocolate shavings
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or flat bottom of a glass for an even layer.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Lay the slices evenly across the bottom of the cooled crust.

Step 6

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the banana layer, ensuring it coats the slices evenly.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the cream over the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create a ganache.

Step 8

Spread the ganache evenly over the caramel and banana layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula and refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 9

In a mixing bowl, combine the cold whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled ganache layer.

Step 11

Garnish with chocolate shavings and chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

Step 12

Slice the pie, serve chilled, and enjoy this decadent dessert!
