Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- 1 box Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 3 medium Bananas
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the chocolate pudding according to the package instructions by whisking the instant pudding mix with cold milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Reserve half of it for topping later.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
In an 8x8-inch dish, layer the bottom with a layer of graham crackers, breaking them into smaller pieces as needed to cover the surface completely.
Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.
Add a thin layer of the whipped cream (the half mixed with powdered sugar) over the bananas.
Repeat the layering process: graham crackers, chocolate pudding, sliced bananas, and whipped cream, until you run out of ingredients, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Top the dessert with chocolate shavings or chips for extra flavor and decoration, if desired.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the graham crackers to soften and absorb the flavors.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, chocolaty, and fruity treat!
