Description
Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie Jars are a delightful dessert combining creamy peanut butter, fresh bananas, and a crunchy graham cracker base, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter in a bowl until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.
- Take small dessert cups or jars and place a generous layer of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of each.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then carefully fold in the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until everything is smoothly blended.
- Layer the peanut butter cream over the graham cracker base in each cup, filling them about halfway.
- Arrange a layer of banana slices atop the peanut butter cream.
- Repeat the layering process: add more graham cracker mixture, followed by another layer of the peanut butter cream, and finish with more banana slices until the cups are filled to the top.
- If you like, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the last layer of banana slices for an extra treat.
- Top each cup with a swirl of whipped cream for a delightful finish.
- Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors come together beautifully.
Notes
- For a lighter twist, consider using light peanut butter and whipped topping.
- You can also swap out bananas for berries or other fruits to create a unique flavor experience.
