My Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Please Read Carefully Before Preparing

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie

Two fresh bananas
Pre-made graham cracker pie crust
One 3 oz box vanilla pudding mix
One 8 oz container of Cool Whip topping

Directions

Thin slice bananas horizontally.

Arrange the slice banana rounds to lay flat in your graham cracker crust.

Prepare boxed vanilla pudding mix as per package using their pie method. In my opinion, the cooked type tastes best but the instant is much easier. Either type works with this recipe.

Pour finished pudding on top of the sliced bananas.

If you've used cooked pudding, place your pie into the fridge and allow it to cool before following the next step.

Top the pie with a large cloud of Cool Whip topping.

Refrigerate until serving.

Things to Note

Bananas turn dark in the fridge so make this pie as close to serving time as possible.

You can use a home made graham cracker crust if you have the time.
