BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM CRACKERS



Banana Pudding with Graham Crackers image

I made this recipe when I was craving banana pudding but out of the traditional Nilla® wafers. When I realized the graham crackers would make nice even layers a snap, the idea to make it in an 8x8-inch pan came quickly. It tastes amazing, and the crackers soften quicker than the wafers do. The addition of the Dream Whip® topping mix makes this very creamy and the even layering means you taste all three elements in every bite!

Time 4h15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ½ cups cold 2% milk
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix
1 (1.3 ounce) envelope dry whipped topping mix (such as Dream Whip®)
½ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, or more as needed
2 large bananas, sliced, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Pour milk, pudding mix, and whipped topping mix into a large bowl; mix with an electric whisk or hand whisk until ingredients are combined and a thick pudding forms.
  • Break graham cracker sheets in half to form squares.
  • Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with 9 graham cracker squares. Layer 1/2 of the banana slices on top in even rows and cover with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Repeat layers once more. Sprinkle the top with graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled, 4 hours or longer. Cut into 9 squares to serve.

GRAHAM CRACKER BANANA TREAT



Graham Cracker Banana Treat image

These quick and easy treats have been around for at least fifty years, my Grandma would always make them for us, and they never lasted long. I remember having to wait till they got soft enough to eat..they are better a few hours after making, as the crackers soften...oh so good, I started making them for my own kids and they love...

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups heavy cream, divided
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise, seeds scraped
3 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cornstarch
Perfect Graham Cracker Crust
3 pounds firm but ripe bananas (6 to 7), peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices on the bias
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups cream, the milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.
  • Combine egg yolks, eggs, cornstarch, and 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl; whisk until pale yellow in color. Set aside.
  • Whisk 1 cup hot cream mixture into egg yolk mixture. Gradually add egg mixture to hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon to cook out cornstarch and thicken mixture, about 5 minutes. (The mixture may separate slightly; if it does, remove from heat and beat with an electric mixer until thick and smooth.) Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in refrigerator about 4 hours.
  • To assemble, spread 1/2 cup custard over bottom of prepared crust, smoothing with the back of a large spoon or rubber spatula. Arrange enough banana slices (not quite one-third of them) in a tight, tiled pattern over custard, pressing down with hands to pack them firmly. Repeat to build a second layer, using 3/4 cup custard and enough bananas to cover, smoothing down layer evenly. For third layer, spread 3/4 cup custard over bananas and top with remaining bananas, starting 1 inch from outer edge and working toward center. Spread 1 cup custard evenly over bananas to prevent discoloration. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Whip remaining 2 cups heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Remove pie from refrigerator. Fill a pastry bag with whipped cream and pipe onto pie. (Alternately, spread whipped cream evenly over pie.) With a sharp knife dipped in hot water, cut pie into 10 equal slices. Transfer slices to dessert plates. Serve.
