Description
A simple, no-bake dessert that combines ripe bananas, a crispy graham cracker crust, and luscious caramel sauce into a creamy delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of graham crackers
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of caramel sauce
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Crush the graham crackers: Using a rolling pin or a food processor, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Sprinkle them evenly across the bottom of your dessert dish to create a crispy crust.
- Cook the pastry cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gently heat over medium, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Enhance with vanilla: Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pastry cream cool slightly.
- Layer the bananas: Slice the ripe bananas and distribute them evenly over the graham cracker crust, creating a sweet, fruity layer.
- Pour the cream: Gently pour the cooked pastry cream over the banana layer, ensuring an even coating that envelops the bananas in creamy goodness.
- Finish with whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream until thick and fluffy, then spread it generously over the pastry cream.
- Add the caramel drizzle: Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the whipped cream for a decadent finish.
- Chill: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the layers to set before serving.
