Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon powdered sugar

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Whipped cream, for topping

Extra banana slices, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each individual serving cup. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the mixture down, forming an even crust layer.

        Prepare the Cream Filling:

          - In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Set it aside.

            - In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and uniform.

              - Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Incorporate the whipped cream gently to maintain its airy texture.

                Layer the Cups:

                  - Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the cream filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup, spreading it evenly.

                    - Lay a few banana slices on top of the cream filling layer.

                      - Repeat the process with another layer of cream filling over the banana slices, and if desired, top with additional banana slices for a decorative touch.

                        Chill the Cups:

                          - Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set beautifully.

                            Serve:

                              - Just before serving, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup. If using, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch. Finish with a few extra banana slices for an appealing garnish.

                                Enjoy:

                                  - Serve the cups cold and savor the delightful combination of creamy banana goodness and a crunchy graham cracker crust in every blissful bite!
