Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

24 graham crackers

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Whipped cream and banana slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. If desired, fold in the ground cinnamon for an extra flavor kick.

    Layer the Cake: In a 9x13 inch pan, start by laying down a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom.

      Add the Banana Cream Mixture: Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers, then place a layer of banana slices on top.

        Repeat the Layers: Continue layering with graham crackers, followed by whipped cream mixture, and banana slices. Repeat this process until you've used all the graham crackers and filling, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.

          Chill the Cake: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Once chilled, remove the cake from the fridge. Garnish with additional whipped cream and banana slices on top just before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy the creamy, dreamy banana icebox cake!
