Ingredients

• 2 cups chocolate pudding
• 2 whole ripe bananas
• 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings
• 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) with melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick, and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with sugar and vanilla extract using a handheld or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set aside.

Step 4

Gather four individual serving glasses or dessert cups for assembly.

Step 5

Start by spooning a layer of the cookie crumble mixture into the bottom of each glass, pressing down slightly to create an even base.

Step 6

Add a layer of chocolate pudding over the cookie crumble, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Arrange a single layer of banana slices on top of the chocolate pudding.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (cookie crumble, pudding, banana slices) until the glasses are nearly full, ending with a layer of chocolate pudding.

Step 9

Top each dessert with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, spreading gently to create an even top layer.

Step 10

Garnish with dark chocolate shavings and optional toasted coconut flakes for added flavor and texture.

Step 11

Refrigerate the desserts for at least 10 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately if desired.
