Ingredients

  • 1 Graham cracker pie crust
  • 1 (3 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
  • 8 ounces whipped cream (approximation, may be little less)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large bananas (should be firm and yellow)
  • About 1/4 cup melted chocolate chips
  • Chocolate rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Make pudding according to directions (I often use banana pudding instead of the vanilla or try to make a batch of vanilla and banana pudding and then mix the two). Set in the refrigerator while you make the rest of the recipe.
  2. Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Beat whipped cream to form stiff peaks and then fold into cream cheese mixture.
  4. Remove pudding from the refrigerator and line bottom part of Grahamcracker crust with a 1 inch thick layer of pudding.
  5. Place bananas on top.
  6. Spoon cream cheese mixture over top.
  7. Top this with melted chocolate chips mixed with a little bit of heavy cream to thin it out.
  8. Lastly, sprinkle chocolate rainbow sprinkles over top.

Notes

This recipe is quite tasty, especially with a homemade Graham cracker crust. Here is how I make mine. Put about 1 1/2 cups (approximation) crushed Graham cracker crumbs into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup sugar and mix briefly. Next, add 2/3 stick melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well and then spoon into standard pie plate. When I make my Graham cracker crusts, I normally do not use lots of butter because the crust often becomes very hard, especially after it has sat in the refrigerator for quite a while. I also will put my crust in fridge very briefly to allow it to set.
