Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 medium bananas
- 3.4 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1.5 cups milk (cold)
- 2 cups whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons grated chocolate or chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Place the graham cracker crust on your work surface or pie dish, ready for filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly along the bottom. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes while preparing the next layers.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange them in an even layer over the chilled chocolate filling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens. Spread the pudding evenly over the banana layer.
Gently spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer, using a spatula to create an even, fluffy layer.
Optionally, sprinkle grated chocolate or chocolate shavings over the top for garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set. Slice and serve chilled.
