Step 1: Make the Chocolate Pudding (If Homemade)

1. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

2. Gradually pour in milk, whisking until smooth.

3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (5-7 minutes).

4. Repeat: Alternate layers (crackers → bananas → pudding) until ingredients are used, ending with pudding.

Step 3: Chill
