How to Make Banana Dessert

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk and 10 ounces of marshmallows.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely. (This prevents the whipped cream from melting)
  4. Once cooled, gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream, 2 ripe bananas (mashed), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Press 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs) into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the banana marshmallow mixture over the crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle generously with ½ cup of your favorite chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, almonds).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set before serving.
