Ingredients

Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
  • Place 2 cups of milk chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 5 egg yolks and a pinch of salt.
  • In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat, and pour the cream into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Do not allow it to boil!
  • Pour the thickened mixture over the chocolate chips in the heat-safe bowl. Stir until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • To assemble the cake, begin by spreading a layer of the chocolate mixture (about 1 cup) in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Then, add a layer of 4 graham crackers on top of the chocolate mixture. Add another layer of chocolate mixture (about ½ cup) on top of the graham crackers, followed by a layer of thinly sliced bananas.
  • Repeat this layering process until you reach the top of the loaf pan. You want the top layer to be graham crackers.
  • Cover the top of the cake with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight.
  • To serve, turn the cake out onto a plate or scoop it out of the pan. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Graham Crackers - Use any brand or flavor of graham crackers. Make it even richer with chocolate graham crackers. 
  • Pudding - If you don't want a homemade pudding go ahead and use an instant chocolate pudding you whip up. Just follow directions on box. 
  • Fruit - Add in other fruit like strawberries or other berries. 
  • Refrigerate - Overnight.
