Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 Bananas
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
Chocolate and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until smooth, ensuring no lumps form, then refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until firm and creamy.
- Slice ripe bananas into thin, uniform rounds, creating an even base layer in individual serving glasses.
- Gently spoon a generous layer of chilled pudding over the banana slices, covering them completely.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating banana slices and pudding until glasses are nearly full, creating a visually appealing stratified dessert.
- Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until glossy and completely liquid.
- Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the top pudding layer, creating an elegant and even coverage.
- Crush graham crackers into fine, consistent crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs generously over the chocolate layer, providing a delightful textural contrast.
- Refrigerate the dessert cups for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow chocolate to set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled, presenting a decadent and visually stunning dessert that combines creamy, fruity, and crunchy elements.
Notes
- Slice bananas just before layering to prevent browning and maintain their fresh texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or coconut milk pudding mix and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Crumble graham crackers right before sprinkling to keep their crisp texture and prevent sogginess.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the pudding mix for a warm, subtle flavor enhancement that complements the banana and chocolate.
