How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed cookies, brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon. Press mixture into a light greased 8 x 8 -inch baking pan. Bake 7-10 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.

  • Step 3: Over a double boiler or in the microwave, melt 4 ounces of chocolate and cream, stirring until it has a smooth, shiny consistency. Pour/spread over baked crust and place in the freezer while you prepare the next steps.

  • Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Stir in flour and salt.

  • Step 5: In a saucepan over medium-low, heat milk. Slowly add milk to egg yolk mixture, whisking until well combined. Return to the saucepan and whisk continuously, until large bubbles form and the mixture is a thick pudding. Stir in vanilla and whiskey.

  • Step 6: Cover the chocolate layer with sliced bananas. Pour the pudding over the bananas. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  • Step 7: Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream.
