4. Beat in vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
5. Generously spray a 9x9 inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Spread meringue evenly over the bottom and sides of the prepared dish, forming a crust.
7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
9. While the crust cools, prepare the pudding mix according to package directions, using 2 cups of milk.
10. Gently fold in the sliced bananas.

12. Sprinkle ground graham crackers evenly over the top.
13. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
