Delightful Banana Cream Bars with layers of ripe bananas, creamy filling, and a buttery crust.

  • Total Time: 240 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped topping for serving
  • Banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine flour, softened butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy, then blend in the mashed bananas.
  3. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the banana mixture.
  4. Once the crust has cooled, pour the banana cream filling over it and smooth it evenly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  6. Top with whipped cream and banana slices before serving.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor. Make sure the whipped cream is properly whipped for best results.
