🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 medium Bananas
• 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant banana pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the texture of wet sand.

3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish to form the crust.

4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

5. Peel and slice 2 bananas into thin rounds. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the cooled crust to create the first banana layer.

6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.

7. Pour the prepared pudding over the banana layer in the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.

8. Peel and slice the remaining 2 bananas into rounds. Arrange them over the top of the chilled pudding layer.

9. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

10. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of bananas, or pipe decorative dollops using a piping bag for an elegant presentation.

11. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls for a touch of decadence.

12. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for an additional 1 to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.

13. Slice and serve the Double Delight Banana Cream Pie chilled. Enjoy!
