Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 cup whipping cream, chilled
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it evenly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the marshmallows and milk. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream. Add the vanilla extract and mix lightly.
Arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer over the cooled graham cracker crust.
Pour the marshmallow cream filling over the bananas, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
Just before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
