Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 3.4-ounce boxes instant banana pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the banana pudding by whisking together the instant pudding mix and milk until thickened (approximately 2 minutes). Refrigerate until needed.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Reserve about 1 cup of whipped cream for topping.
Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chilled banana pudding until fully combined.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the banana pudding mixture onto the graham cracker crust. Place a layer of sliced bananas on top.
Repeat the layers (pudding, bananas) until you run out of ingredients, ensuring the top layer is the pudding mixture.
Spread the reserved whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie. Decorate with additional banana slices and chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your layered banana cream dream pie!
