Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar on high speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth, then gently fold in half of the whipped cream until fully incorporated to create peanut butter cream.
  2. Step 2: Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Step 3: In an 8x8-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers (about 4 sheets) on the bottom. Spread one-third of the peanut butter cream evenly over the crackers, followed by half of the banana slices.
  4. Step 4: Repeat layering with 4 more graham crackers, the remaining banana slices, and another one-third of peanut butter cream. Finish with the last 4 graham crackers and the remaining whipped cream on top, smoothing it out.
  5. Step 5: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to meld and soften the crackers. Serve chilled in squares.
