Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Bananas
- 0.5 cups Pecans, chopped
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined to create the creamy filling.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
Arrange a single layer of banana slices over the cooled crust.
Spread half of the creamy filling over the banana layer, smoothing it out evenly.
Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans over the filling.
Repeat with another layer of banana slices, followed by the remaining creamy filling and chopped pecans.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness, if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy this indulgent creamy banana pecan pie!
