No Bake Banana Cream Pie
This simple No Bake Banana Cream Pie recipe is one of the easiest desserts to prepare. You'll love the taste of fresh banana slices, layered with vanilla pudding and homemade whipped cream, all nestled in a graham cracker crust. This recipe is a keeper!
Ingredients
- 1 9" graham cracker crust premade
- 2 3.4 ounce packages instant vanilla pudding
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 cups milk
- 3 large bananas
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand-held mixer, cream together the cream cheese and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pudding mixes and the milk. Whisk until fully combined.
- Now mix together the cream cheese mixture and the pudding mixer. Mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the bananas and arrange in a single layer on the pie shell. Spread half of the filling over the bananas in an even layer. Add another layer of banana slices then top with remaining filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- After four hours, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a mixer equipped with a whisk attachment. Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until it forms medium peaks. Transfer to a piping bag, if desired.
- Remove the pie from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of the pie. Enjoy!
