Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant banana pudding mix
• 3.5 cups cold milk
• 3 large fresh bananas
• 16 oz whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
• 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it down firmly. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.

Step 4

Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 5

Spread half of the prepared banana pudding evenly over the graham cracker crust.

Step 6

Lay a layer of banana slices on top of the pudding, evenly distributing them across the surface.

Step 7

Spread half of the whipped topping over the banana slices, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 8

Repeat the layers: add the remaining banana pudding, followed by another layer of fresh banana slices, and finish with the remaining whipped topping.

Step 9

Garnish the top layer with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an elegant finish.

Step 10

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set properly.

Step 11

Slice and serve cold. Enjoy this creamy, dreamy dessert!
