Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3.4 oz boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
2 1/2 cups milk
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups whipping cream
1 stick butter
1/4 c sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
bananas {3-6, depending on personal taste}
chocolate syrup {for drizzling}

Steps:

Combine the pudding mix, cold milk, and sweetened condensed milk; whisk til smooth but thickened. Set aside. Whip cream beginning on low speed gradually moving to medium high; whip till fluffy and holds shape.
Fold whipped cream into pudding. Chill in refrigerator for at least two hours.
In saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Continue to heat while stirring constantly for about five minutes until crumbs begin to lump together and harden. Allow to cool thoroughly. The crumbs will become crunchy as they cool.
Place some graham cracker crumbs on a dessert plate or in a bowl. Add desired amount of banana slices. Top with two scoops of pudding {using an ice cream scoop makes this easy}. Drizzle with chocolate syrup {caramel syrup would be wonderful, too}.
