Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant banana pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
2 bananas, sliced
For the Topping:
1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
Crushed graham crackers (optional)
Banana slices (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated with butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan lined with parchment paper. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk the instant banana pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Add the banana slices and gently mix to combine.
Assemble the Bars: Pour the pudding mixture over the chilled crust and spread it evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
