Categories     Dessert     pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ brown sugar (lightly packed)
⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 cups half and half (or 1 ½ cup whole milk + ½ cup heavy cream)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 large egg yolks
¼ cup cornstarch
½ tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
3 big bananas (or 4 small ones)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Start by making the graham cracker crust; in a medium size mixing bowl add your graham cracker crumbs, the brown sugar and the melted butter and mix well with a rubber spatula until well combined.
  • Add the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and press down to form the crust. Bake the crust in the oven at 350ºF for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling; in a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the half and half, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to a simmer whisking occasionally. In a medium heatproof bowl mix the egg yolks and cornstarch together until thick and smooth.
  • Slowly whisk 1 cup of the simmering milk into the egg yolk mixture. Then slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture into the pan. Cook the mixture, wicking continuously until it is thick and bubbles begin bursting at the surface, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and butter. To prevent a "skin" from forming, place a plastic wrap on top of the warm pudding. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Slice 1 big banana (or 2 small ones) and arrange the slices into the cooled pie crust. Spread the cooled pudding on top. Place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the filling, to prevent the "skin" from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • When you are ready to serve the banana cream pie, make the whipped cream; using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Spread the whipped cream onto the chilled pie. Slice the remaining bananas and decorate the pie with the banana slices. Slice and serve.

BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM CRACKERS



Banana Pudding with Graham Crackers image

I made this recipe when I was craving banana pudding but out of the traditional Nilla® wafers. When I realized the graham crackers would make nice even layers a snap, the idea to make it in an 8x8-inch pan came quickly. It tastes amazing, and the crackers soften quicker than the wafers do. The addition of the Dream Whip® topping mix makes this very creamy and the even layering means you taste all three elements in every bite!

Provided by Brandy Bruton

Time 4h15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ½ cups cold 2% milk
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix
1 (1.3 ounce) envelope dry whipped topping mix (such as Dream Whip®)
½ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, or more as needed
2 large bananas, sliced, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Pour milk, pudding mix, and whipped topping mix into a large bowl; mix with an electric whisk or hand whisk until ingredients are combined and a thick pudding forms.
  • Break graham cracker sheets in half to form squares.
  • Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with 9 graham cracker squares. Layer 1/2 of the banana slices on top in even rows and cover with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Repeat layers once more. Sprinkle the top with graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled, 4 hours or longer. Cut into 9 squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas for a sweeter and creamier dessert. The riper the banana, the better the flavor.
  • Use a food processor or blender to achieve the smoothest consistency for the banana mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream instead of just cream cheese.
  • If the cracker crust is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of melted butter or coconut oil to help it bind together.
  • You can use any type of cracker you like for the crust, but graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and digestive biscuits are popular choices.
  • For a more decadent dessert, top the banana cream mixture with whipped cream or a sprinkle of grated chocolate.

Conclusion:

This creamy banana dessert with cracker crust is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
