Description
A simple, no-bake layered dessert featuring bananas, cream, and cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 package (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 box (11 ounces) graham crackers
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cold water for about one minute.
- Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the milk mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for two minutes. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until just combined.
- Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cover the crackers with a layer of sliced bananas.
- Spoon half of the cream mixture over the bananas.
- Repeat the layers: crackers, bananas, and the remaining cream mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute vanilla wafers for graham crackers if you prefer a different texture.
- Slice the bananas just before assembling to reduce browning.
- For a firmer cake, chill for 8 hours.
