Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional banana slices for garnish
Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Make the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in sliced bananas gently.
Spread the Filling: Pour the banana pudding mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve: Cut into bars and garnish with additional banana slices and whipped cream before serving.
