Banana Cream Parfait

This tastes as good as it looks. Dessert for two...why not share? 

Ingredients

Cookie Crumble

• 2 cups of crushed vanilla wafer cookies
• 1 cup of crushed almonds
• 1/2 stick of butter, melted

Filling

• 1 (4) oz package of instant vanilla pudding,                 
•       prepared by package directions
• 1 (8) oz container of whipped topping
• 3 bananas, sliced
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 4 (8) oz glasses, or 2 (16) oz glasses

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° degrees.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside. Combine the crushed vanilla wafer cookies, crushed almonds, and the melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Add the mixture to the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the mixture throughout the entire cookie sheet. Cook the cookie mixture for 10 minutes. The crust should be a golden brown when done. Remove the cookie mixture from the oven, and set it aside to cool (approximately 15 - 20 minutes).

While the crust is cooling, brush the banana slices with a small amount of lemon juice to keep the bananas from turning brown.

When the crust is cool, prepare the parfait by first layering 2 Tbsp of the cookie crumble, 2 Tbsp of whipped topping, 2 Tbsp of vanilla pudding, and the banana slices (approximately 6). Repeat in this order, two more times, or until the glass is full. Chill for one hour. Enjoy! Makes 2 - 4 servings.
