NO-BAKE BANANA PUDDING ICEBOX CAKE
Banana Pudding Layer Cake recipe is a cool, creamy, refreshing twist on a classic banana cream pie and so much more simple than a banana torte, easily tweaked to use the graham crackers in the layers instead of being baked into the crust.
This fuss-free version can be made in mere minutes with a simple filling of powdered pudding mixed with milk and whipped cream that sets while it sits in the fridge to firm up.
What I love most about a banana icebox cake with graham crackers is that the filling feels kind of like a banana mousse and is very light so it makes the perfect mixture to layer between the cookies.
As the banana refrigerator cake chills, the cookies soak up the moisture from the cream and become tender – it’s the best graham cracker banana dessert that makes the ultimate summer slice!

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
Pick Your Pudding: This is a great base recipe for other filling flavors! Chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, lemon, banana pudding, etc would also taste delicious. Just make sure you purchase the instant pudding mix or it won’t work with this ice box cake.
Tasty Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to this tasty treat, like crushed nilla wafers, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts), or even melted peanut butter!
Change The Cookie: Vanilla wafers, chocolate graham crackers, pecan sandies, or shortbread cookies can be used instead of classic graham crackers. I would not use a sandwich cookie, however, because they are too thick to properly soften in the pudding mixture to get the right consistency.
Add Fruit To Your Filling: Feel free to add fresh fruit to your filling. You can use strawberries, bananas, or other thinly-sliced soft fruit, such as mangoes, peaches, or even raspberries.
