Banana pudding pie is a delicious dessert that combines the flavors of banana pudding with a pie crust. Here’s a simple recipe to make one:
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, sliced bananas, vanilla wafers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a store-bought pie crust, follow the instructions on the package for pre-baking. If making homemade pie crust, prepare, roll out, and bake according to your recipe.
- Make the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk. Whisk together until smooth and thickened, following the instructions on the pudding mix package. Let it set for a few minutes to thicken further.
- Assemble the Pie: Once the pie crust has cooled completely, arrange a layer of sliced bananas on the bottom of the crust. Pour the prepared pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading it out evenly.
- Chill the Pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Top the Pie: Once the pudding has set, spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie. You can also garnish with additional sliced bananas and vanilla wafers if desired.
- Serve: Slice the banana pudding pie and serve chilled. Enjoy!
