Banana Cream Pie

Course: Desserts, Pies
1st Gen Author: Char Lybbert

Ingredients

  • 1 4 oz pkg instant chocolate or vanilla pudding
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cookie crusts can be graham crackers, Nilla wafers, shortbread or oreo
  • Lots of Bananas 4 small or 2 large
  • 1 pint whipping cream
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine pudding mix, cold water, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well and place in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes.
  • In another bowl, whip 1 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  • Slice the bananas (probably 4 small or 2 large) and layer them on the bottom of the crusts. Be sure and save the plastic domes that come with the pie crusts-you'll need them later!
  • Set aside. Remove pudding from the fridge and gently dollop the whipped cream on top of the pudding. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well-combined.
  • Now divide the mixture between the two pies.
  • Prepare sweetened whipped cream with the remaining whipping cream and ⅓ cup of powdered sugar and spread it on top of the two pies.
  • Place the clear plastic shells back on the pies and allow to chill for several hours. This is actually really important – Once, I tried eating it right away and the pie wasn't banana-y at all and the moisture hadn't absorbed into the crust, so the crust just fell apart. And there you have it-the best AND the easiest banana cream pie you'll ever have or need.
