This recipe came from Our Best Bites and is always a hit! It makes 2 pies, so it is the perfect thing to take to a party, or to make one for the family and take the other to a neighbor.
Ingredients:
1 4-serving size box of
instant chocolate or vanilla pudding
1 c. cold water
1 14-oz. can sweetened
condensed milk
2 cookie crusts. You
can use anything–graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, shortbread, even Oreo.
Lots of bananas
1 pint whipping cream
1/3 c. powdered sugar
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
c. of whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Slice the bananas
(probably 4 small bananas or 2 large bananas) 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 (recipe below) with the
remaining whipping cream and 1/3 c. 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–I tried eating it right away once 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!
Sweetened Whipped Cream
1 c. whipping cream

cream until soft peaks form
