HEALTHY LOW FAT BANANA CREAM PIE
This recipe is based on one found on the Food Network website but after I made it a few times I tweaked it and it's even better. This is so good, super easy and best of all guilt free because it's low in fat and calories because there is no cream in it. You won't miss it though - it's full of real banana flavor. For even more savings on fat and calories use a real dairy light whipped cream from a can. If you don't have a hand blender just mash the extra banana with a fork and mix it well into the pudding. Time to make stated does not inlude chilling time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray. In a food processor, process graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter and 2 tablespoon of water, and process until the crumb clumps together. Do not over process. Press the crumb mixture into bottom of pie plate and about 1/2-inch up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- In the meantime, make the filling. Put the gelatin in a small bowl; add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/3 cup of sugar and the flour. In a medium bowl lightly beat the milk and egg yolks together. Add the egg yolk and milk mixture to the saucepan and whisk so the flour and sugar dissolve. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until mixture comes to a boil and has thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and the gelatin. Cut up the extra banana and using a hand blender blend it into the pudding mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Arrange the sliced bananas in layers on the graham cracker crust and pour the pudding on top. Carefully cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator until the pudding has set, about 3 hours.
- Whip the cream with an electric beater. When it is about halfway done, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, then continue whipping until fully whipped. Put the whipped cream in a plastic bag, concentrating it in 1 corner of the bag. Snip that corner off the bag and squeeze the whipped cream out of the bag in a decorative pattern around the pie.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be. If your bananas are not quite ripe, you can place them in a paper bag with an apple overnight. The ethylene gas released by the apple will help to ripen the bananas.
- Don't overmix the crust: Overmixing the crust will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together and then press them into the pie plate.
- Blind bake the crust: Blind baking the crust helps to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake the crust, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie plate with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Make sure the pudding is thick enough: The pudding should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, it will not set properly. To thicken the pudding, cook it over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
- Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Conclusion:
This low-fat banana cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy pudding filling and the crunchy graham cracker crust are a perfect combination. With its light and fluffy texture, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
