Ingredients You Need

Vanilla Wafer Crust for 9 inch Pie Pan or Baking Dish

• granulated sugar
• butter, melted

Banana Filling:

• sweetened condensed milk
• milk of choice
• instant banana cream pudding or vanilla pudding

Whipped Topping Layer & Toppings

Instructions How to Make Banana Cream Pie

Starting with Nilla Pie Crust

1. To make your crust, combine the wafer cookie crumbs and the melted butter in a large bowl. Mix until you’ve reached the texture of wet sand. Transfer the crust mixture into the prepared pie pan.
2. Using your fingers or the back of a measuring cup, press the crust mixture into one even layer along the bottom and sides of the tin.
3. Place the crust in the fridge or freezer to set while you make the filling.

Banana Cream Filling

1. In a large bowl, use a mixer or whisk together sweetened condensed milk, milk, and instant pudding mix.
2. Fold the 2 cups of whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
3. Pour into prepared pie crust.
4. Refrigerate 2 hours to set.

Whipped Cream Layer

1. Garnish with additional 2 cups of whipped cream and bananas. (Nilla Sprinkles if desired)
2. Cut and serve.

Storing No Bake Banana Pie

• Store banana cream pie loosely covered with plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Bananas will start to brown after a few days, but this pie is so good, it’s not going to last long!

Make Banana Cream Filling Ahead of Time

• Once you’ve made the banana filling together, cover the filling with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.  Chill pudding in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the pie.
• You can also make the whipped cream topping and the pie crust ahead of time as well.

More Variations

• Besides nilla wafers, you can also substitute with a graham cracker crust or an oreo cookie crust and switch out the oreos with golden oreos! Plus you can also use an already prepared pie crust!
• We love the instant banana pudding mix and the vanilla pudding mix as well, but you can also tinker with other pudding recipes, like chocolate, pistachio, lemon, butterscotch and more and then add your own special touches with candies, fruits, nuts, sprinkles, shaved chocolate and so on!  Get creative and come up with your own no bake pie recipe using this recipe as a base!

In conclusion, we have explored the world of this easy, no-bake dessert highlighting this delicious and crowd-pleasing banana cream pie. We have learned that with just a few simple ingredients and some creative twists, anyone can become a dessert master in their own kitchen.

From the creamy and luscious filling to the crunchy and buttery crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at any gathering or even enjoyed solo. So go ahead, grab that mixing bowl and let the magic unfold. As they say, the proof is in the pudding (or in this case, the pie). Bon appétit!
