Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) banana cream instant pudding mix
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups whipped topping (thawed, if frozen)
- 0.25 cups shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the banana cream layer. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the banana cream instant pudding mix and cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.
Once the crust has cooled, spread half of the banana pudding mixture evenly over the crust. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on top of the pudding.
Spread the remaining banana pudding mixture over the banana slices to create the second layer.
Top the pudding layer with the whipped topping, spreading it out evenly to form the final, fluffy layer.
If desired, garnish the top with shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles for a decorative finish.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Once chilled and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Slice into bars and serve cold. Enjoy!
