Banana Cream Pie
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
2 cups whole milk, cold
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 (5.1-ounce) box instant banana cream pudding mix
2 medium bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed, or whipped cream, divided
1 baked pie crust, store-bought or homemade
Optional toppings: Cool Whip or whipped cream, and sliced bananas
Directions
In small bowl, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until dissolved.
In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk mixture 2 to 3 minutes, or until it has thickened. Fold in the bananas and 1/2 Cool Whip. Add more Cool Whip until there is enough filling to fill the crust. Save the remaining 1/2 for topping.
Spread the filling evenly into the baked pie crust. (Prevent browning: To ensure the bananas do not brown, make sure the Cool Whip covers them.)
Chill at least 2 to 3 hours before serving. When ready to serve, top with any remaining 1/2 Cool Whip (or whipped cream) and fresh bananas. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes:
You can use 2% milk if you don’t have whole milk. If you use skim milk, almond milk or soy milk it will not thicken properly and will be runny.
Make-ahead: This pie needs to chill for at least 3 hours before serving in order to set, so it’s even better if you can let it set overnight. Make the recipe according to instructions (do not add toppings) and then cover and place in the refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and fresh bananas.
Storage. Loosely cover the pie top with aluminum foil (or plastic wrap) and place in the fridge. It will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
