BANANA GRAHAM CRACKER PUDDING



Banana Graham Cracker Pudding image

This is my Granny Sell's recipe. She never wrote it down before she passed away, so I've tried to copy it with trial and error. It is such a family favorite that I usually double the recipe when I make it.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Steps:

Add a small amount of hot mixture to beaten egg yolks, then quickly add back to rest of mixture. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
  • Layer in serving bowl. I put 1/2 of grahams on bottom, 1/2 bananas next, 1/2 pudding mixture next. Repeat layers and add 1/4 cup graham crumbs on top for garnish. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
  • I usually make this in the morning, because it tastes wonderful after it has cooled all day in refrigerator and all the flavors marry. I also double this because there is never enough for all of my family.

BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM CRACKERS



Banana Pudding with Graham Crackers image

I made this recipe when I was craving banana pudding but out of the traditional Nilla® wafers. When I realized the graham crackers would make nice even layers a snap, the idea to make it in an 8x8-inch pan came quickly. It tastes amazing, and the crackers soften quicker than the wafers do. The addition of the Dream Whip® topping mix makes this very creamy and the even layering means you taste all three elements in every bite!

Time 4h15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ½ cups cold 2% milk
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix
1 (1.3 ounce) envelope dry whipped topping mix (such as Dream Whip®)
½ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, or more as needed
2 large bananas, sliced, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Pour milk, pudding mix, and whipped topping mix into a large bowl; mix with an electric whisk or hand whisk until ingredients are combined and a thick pudding forms.
  • Break graham cracker sheets in half to form squares.
  • Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with 9 graham cracker squares. Layer 1/2 of the banana slices on top in even rows and cover with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Repeat layers once more. Sprinkle the top with graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled, 4 hours or longer. Cut into 9 squares to serve.
