Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 3/4 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/4 cup White Sugar
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter, melted
Pudding
- 1 package instant banana pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups cold Milk
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Bananas Foster Topping
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 3 1/2 tbsp Banana Liqueur
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 3 Bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a square baking pan to form the crust. Bake for about 6 minutes until set. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Make the Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant banana pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly using a stand or hand mixer until smooth. Place the pudding in the refrigerator to chill until ready to use.
- Whip the Cream: Using a stand or hand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed for 3-4 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Chill in the refrigerator until needed.
- Prepare the Bananas Foster: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the dark brown sugar, banana liqueur, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. When the mixture begins to bubble, add the sliced bananas and chopped walnuts, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bananas are heated through and caramelized slightly.
- Assemble the Pudding: In wine glasses or your preferred serving dishes, layer the graham cracker crust, banana pudding, whipped cream, and finish with the warm Bananas Foster topping. Repeat layering as desired for a beautiful and delicious presentation. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture in the Bananas Foster topping.
- Banana liqueur can be substituted with banana extract or omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
- For a crunchier crust, you can add chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumb mixture.
- Chill the pudding and whipped cream well before assembling to ensure the layers hold their shape.
- Serve promptly after adding the warm Bananas Foster topping to maintain the contrast of textures and temperatures.
