Preparation Steps
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until nice and smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract gently to maintain the airy texture.
Start layering by briefly dipping the graham crackers in milk and placing them at the bottom of your serving dish. Top with a layer of the cream cheese mixture and then a layer of banana slices. Repeat this process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a cream cheese layer on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let it set and the flavors meld together beautifully.
