Iโ€™m so excited to show you how to make this quick and easy no bake dessert. Here’s a few of my favorites: ice cream sandwich cake, chocolate lasagna, and strawberry shortcake donuts. These dessert hacks are BIG chits around here! I am thrilled to add these Banana Pudding Bars to the mix – literally! ;)

Ingredients for Banana Pudding Bars

To start making these banana pie bars, grab all your ingredients. Youโ€™ll need graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, light corn syrup, banana pudding mix, milk, sliced bananas, and a container of whipped topping.

Expert tip: This is such an easy no-bake dessert to make ahead of time. Quickly prep banana pudding bars and freeze them until just before youโ€™re ready to serve!

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: To start making your banana pudding bars, kick off by making the crust first. Mix the melted butter and corn syrup with the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl.

Step 2: Press the graham cracker mixture into a thin, even layer in a 9X9 pan.

Expert no bake dessert tip: Graham cracker crumbs work great with the banana flavor for the crust, but you can switch it up by using Oreo or Nilla Wafers crumbs too!

Step 3: Add the milk and pudding mix into a bowl and mix it up. Let it sit in the fridge for five minutes to set fully.

Step 4: Coat bananas with lemon juice to prevent fresh banana slices from browning. Add a layer of banana slices to the graham cracker crust.

Step 5: Fold one cup of whipped topping into the prepared pudding and spread a layer over top. OMG this tastes SOOOOO good!

Step 6: Add another layer of sliced bananas. It’s kind of like a dessert lasagna. ;)

Expert tip: Want to add even more flavor to the mix? Consider adding in sliced strawberries, too, for a fun dessert recipe twist!

Step 7: Spread a final layer of whipped topping on top and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs like confetti. Let that no-bake dessert set in the freezer for an hour and then serve away!

These banana pudding bars are a quick dessert that will satisfy your cravings. Plus, they’re always popular, no matter the occasion. I can’t wait to hear if you make this dessert for your family.
