For the crust layers:
- 1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
- 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
For the cream filling:
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
For the layers:
- 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
- Whipped cream for topping
- Extra cookie crumbs for garnish
- Prepare the cookie base – Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter (and sugar if using) until sandy texture forms. Set aside.
- Make the cream filling – In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk and mix until creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble the jars – Spoon a layer of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each jar. Add a layer of banana slices. Add a layer of cream filling. Repeat the layers until the jars are full.
- Garnish & chill – Top with whipped cream, banana slices, and a sprinkle of cookie crumbs. Chill for at least 1–2 hours before serving to let the flavors set.
