Banana Pudding With Graham Cracker Crunch Recipes

GRAHAM CRACKER BANANA CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• Combine cracker crumbs and butter. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish. In a large bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Pour over crust; top with bananas and pineapple. Spread with whipped topping (dish will be full). Sprinkle with pecans if desired., Chill for at least 4 hours before cutting. Garnish with candy bar pieces and cherries if desired.

BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM-CRACKER CRUNCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, stir the graham-cracker crumbs and melted butter together. Press the crumb mixture onto the baking sheet in a circle that is approximately 8 inches in diameter. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Use a small spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate chips thickly over the baked crumbs on the baking sheet. Let the crunch sit until the chocolate is firm. [The chocolate holds the crunch together in large pieces so it does not crumble when it is transferred to the pudding. I always have a problem with this step, but if it crumbles it doesn't alter the flavor :-)].
• In the bottom of a 2-quart serving bowl, spread 1/2 of the banana slices. Spread about 1/2 of the pudding over the bananas and sprinkle about 1/3 of the graham crunch (breaking it up with a spatula as you transfer it) over the pudding. Repeat the layering once.
• Spread the whipped cream over the crunch and sprinkle with the remaining crunch. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight and serve cold.

CREAM CHEESE BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Stir together crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter and mix until well-blended. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread crumb mixture in the dish to make a crust. Bake about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese for 5 minutes. Add sugar and beat until light and creamy. Add vanilla and beat until combined.
• Twist the vanilla bean but don't scrape it and then add it to a medium pot with the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Heat slowly until almost simmering and then cover, remove from heat and allow to steep for 20 minutes.
• Put the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk in the sugar, then the flour and salt. Whisk until completely smooth and make sure there are no lumps hiding in there. Remove the vanilla bean from the milk and slowly whisk the milk into the egg yolks. Then put all of the goodness back into the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until the custard thickens, whisking constantly. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
• Be sure you scrape the bottom and sides of the pan. After the custard begins to boil, cook for one minute longer and then remove it from the heat. The custard will be very thick. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into a large bowl.
• Immediately whisk in the remaining 1 cup of cream and three teaspoons of vanilla. Continue whisking until the cream is completely mixed in.
• Spread cream cheese over the graham cracker crust. Sprinkle some vanilla wafer crumbs, then add a layer of sliced bananas. Spread custard over the bananas and sprinkle remaining vanilla wafer crumbs over the top. (You can layer bananas between the graham cracker crust and the cream cheese too.)

Add a small amount of hot mixture to beaten egg yolks, then quickly add back to rest of mixture. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
• Layer in serving bowl. I put 1/2 of grahams on bottom, 1/2 bananas next, 1/2 pudding mixture next. Repeat layers and add 1/4 cup graham crumbs on top for garnish. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
• I usually make this in the morning, because it tastes wonderful after it has cooled all day in refrigerator and all the flavors marry. I also double this because there is never enough for all of my family.
