Pie Recipes
Banana Cream Pie
Ingredients
- 1 Graham cracker pie crust
- 1 (3 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
- 8 ounces whipped cream (approximation, may be little less)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large bananas (should be firm and yellow)
- About 1/4 cup melted chocolate chips
- Chocolate rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Make pudding according to directions (I often use banana pudding instead of the vanilla or try to make a batch of vanilla and banana pudding and then mix the two). Set in the refrigerator while you make the rest of the recipe.
- Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract.
- Beat whipped cream to form stiff peaks and then fold into cream cheese mixture.
- Remove pudding from the refrigerator and line bottom part of Grahamcracker crust with a 1 inch thick layer of pudding.
- Place bananas on top.
- Spoon cream cheese mixture over top.
- Top this with melted chocolate chips mixed with a little bit of heavy cream to thin it out.
- Lastly, sprinkle chocolate rainbow sprinkles over top.
Notes
This recipe is quite tasty, especially with a homemade Graham cracker crust. Here is how I make mine. Put about 1 1/2 cups (approximation) crushed Graham cracker crumbs into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup sugar and mix briefly. Next, add 2/3 stick melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well and then spoon into standard pie plate. When I make my Graham cracker crusts, I normally do not use lots of butter because the crust often becomes very hard, especially after it has sat in the refrigerator for quite a while. I also will put my crust in fridge very briefly to allow it to
set.
