Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix (instant)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish or pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the crust layer.
Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds and distribute them evenly in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk until the pudding thickens (about 2 minutes). Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the banana layer.
In a chilled bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Alternatively, use store-bought whipped topping if preferred.
Gently spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Fantastic Creamy Layered Banana Dessert!
