This No-Bake Banana Cake is made of fresh bananas spread between layers of graham crackers, dulce de leche caramel, whipped cream, and crushed peanuts. It’s a simple and decadent dessert that is surprisingly easy to make.
Place dulce de leche in a plastic or zip bag. If it's too thick, melt it in a pan over medium heat just until it becomes runny. Let it cool before placing it in the bag.
Combine cream and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer to make it fluffy or just whisk together.
Place a single layer of the graham crackers in the bottom of a 9 x 7 pan or dish (or something similar). Fill the gaps with trimmed crackers. Spread 1/3 cup of cream.
Snip off a tiny corner of the bag’s tip with a scissor then drizzle dulce de leche all over. Arrange slices of banana on top then sprinkle some ground peanuts. Repeat for 2 or more layers.
Freeze for 2 hours uncovered to harden the caramel then cover with a cling wrap. This will prevent the caramel from sticking to the wrap. Continue freezing overnight then serve!
Notes
Dulce de leche can be substituted with regular caramel if preferred.
Flavored graham crackers such as chocolate, vanilla cinnamon would work too.
Use ripe yellow bananas that are sweet, tart and not overripe. Overripe bananas tend to be overly sweet and can become mushy.
Toasted peanuts can be omitted or substituted with walnuts, pecans or cashew.
**Adjust amount of dulce de leche/caramel depending on the level of sweetness preferred.
