Banana and Cookie Delight

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup cookie crumbs (reserved from the base layer)
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• Drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base

1. Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Reserve 1/2 cup of cookie crumbs for the topping.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish or a similar-sized serving tray to create an even layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract, mixing gently to maintain a light and airy texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

1. Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the chilled cookie base.
2. Arrange a layer of sliced bananas over the cream filling. Ensure even coverage for balanced flavors in every bite.
3. Add the remaining cream filling, smoothing it out with a spatula.
4. Top the dessert with the reserved cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
