Preparation

Step 1

Mix graham wafers and melted butter. Press into the base of a 9x14x2" pan to form the crust, then refrigerate.

Step 2

Cream 1/2 cup butter, icing sugar, eggs and vanilla in a mixer until it resembles a frosting-like texture. Spread over graham cracker base and keep in the fridge until it sets.

Step 3

Slice bananas and layer on top of custard.

Step 4

Beat whipping cream and sweeten; add vanilla if desired. Spread (or pipe in rosettes) on top of bananas, and chill at least 4 hours.

​

Try garnishing each slice with extra banana slices (fresh or carmelized), toasted coconut, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
