Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 4 graham crackers, crushed (optional, for layering or topping)
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional, for salted caramel flavor)
Instructions
- Prep Components: Finely crush graham crackers and slice ripe bananas into uniform pieces for layered presentation.
- First Layer Foundation: Distribute graham cracker crumbs evenly across the bottom of serving glasses, creating a crisp textural base.
- Banana Placement: Carefully arrange banana slices over the graham cracker foundation, ensuring complete coverage and aesthetic appeal.
- Caramel Infusion: Generously drizzle rich caramel sauce across banana layer, allowing it to seep between fruit pieces and create depth of flavor.
- Cream Elevation: Pipe or spoon luxurious whipped cream over caramel layer, creating soft, billowy peaks that complement the sweet underneath.
- Repetition Technique: Replicate layering process with another round of graham crackers, bananas, caramel, and whipped cream for complex taste profile.
- Finishing Touch: Crown the dessert with a final dollop of whipped cream and delicate caramel drizzle; optionally sprinkle sea salt for contrasting flavor sensation.
- Serving Recommendation: Consume immediately for optimal texture or chill briefly in refrigerator to allow flavors to meld and cream to set slightly.
Notes
- Select bananas with golden-brown spots for maximum sweetness and softer texture, ensuring a more flavorful dessert.
- Create even, neat layers by using a spoon or spatula to spread ingredients gently, preventing messy presentation.
- Refrigerating the dessert for 10-15 minutes allows ingredients to meld together, intensifying the caramel and banana taste.
- Experiment with graham cracker alternatives like crushed cookies or granola for different crunch levels and dietary preferences.
