How to Make Banana Pudding With Graham Cracker Crunch

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently mash half of the bananas. Add the mashed bananas to the pudding mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Slice the remaining bananas and set aside.
  4. Layer half of the graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  6. Arrange half of the sliced bananas on top of the pudding layer.
  7. Repeat layers with the remaining graham crackers, pudding mixture, and sliced bananas.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top layer.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with whipped cream and extra graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
