Banana Icebox Cake
Banana icebox cake is a lush, no-bake dessert with creamy whipped filling, soft bananas, and layers of graham crackers that meld into a cake-like treat. It’s refreshing, nostalgic, and incredibly easy to make ahead for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box graham crackers
- 4 ripe bananas sliced
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- Whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the prepared pudding to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Spread a thin layer of the pudding mixture in an 8 by 8 inch baking dish to help hold the first layer of graham crackers in place.
- Arrange a layer of graham crackers over the pudding, cutting them as needed to fit neatly.
- Spread one third of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
- Add a single layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding.
- Repeat the layers twice more: graham crackers, pudding mixture, and bananas.
- Finish with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with additional banana slices or whipped topping if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
