Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/2 stick
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs about 6 crackers
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 5.1 oz. french vanilla instant pudding mix packet
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and salt together.
- Press into the bottom of a small casserole dish to create the crust.

- Slowly mix in the sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream.
- Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk together for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the pudding into cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.
- Pour half of the pudding mixture into the casserole dish, then layer with half of the sliced bananas and half of the vanilla wafers.
- Add the remaining pudding mixture, a layer of the remaining sliced bananas, and a layer of the remaining vanilla wafers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure that the cream cheese is room temperature before starting the recipe! This will help keep from getting "lumps" of cream cheese in the pudding base.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving for best results.
- Mix it up and take things up a notch by using ginger snaps instead of vanilla wafers! It may sound crazy, but the depth of flavor it adds to this recipe is INCREDIBLE. Everyone will love it and wonder what the secret ingredient is!
- You can also substitute crumbled vanilla wafers for the graham cracker crumbs in the crust.
