Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream, and ensure the pudding mix is dairy-free. Always use ripe but firm bananas for optimal flavor and texture. Brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning if preparing ahead. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, ideally within 48 hours as the bananas can brown, and the graham crackers may soften too much. Feel free to customize by using other types of cookies or changing the nut butter to match your preference!
