I’m not sure how old this recipe is, but I do know that it goes back a long ways. It is a very easy recipe to make, and it doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. It tastes better if it sets for a few hours to allow the Graham Crackers to soften.
Yield: 8 Servings
Short Korean Lesson
- PiBu (피부) = Skin
- Pi (피) = Blood
Main Ingredients
- About 14 Graham Crackers (a little over 1 pack)
- 2-4 Bananas, Sliced
Icing Ingredients
- ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1½ tsp Milk
- ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
Place a single layer of Graham Crackers in a 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch dish.
Place the bananas on top of the Graham Crackers.
Add another layer of Graham Crackers on top and add more banana slices.
Finish with a layer of Graham Crackers.
To make the icing: Put ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 T butter, 1½ tsp milk, and ¼ tsp vanilla into a bowl.
Mix well. The icing should be thin.
Spread the icing over the Graham Crackers. Cover dish with plastic wrap and let it set a few hours until Graham Crackers soften.
It is best if this dessert is eaten as soon as the Graham Crackers are soft. If you wait too long the bananas will turn brown and the Graham Crackers will get too mushy.
sounds good! I would prolly eat it with a big scoop of vanilla pudding too!
Best thing to do about browning bananas is to soak them in some lemon juice or just sprinkle it on top!
keeps them fresh and yellow!
Ooh I guess I should introduce myself. But I’ve been a long follower of your blog and I love your pics and easy introductions. I’ve just started a blog and have tried making some of your stuff!

hi Tom,
Oh… it is nice to have those good memories.. ^^ thanks
how does this do if I keep it in the frig for one hour or two hours, does it soften after one?
I’m quite old this is called the depression cake because bananas and graham crackers were very cheap during the Depression.
