There is certainly a time and a place for making your own pie crust, your own custard, your own whipped cream. But sometimes, it’s nice to be able to cut corners and still come out with a delicious dessert.
This easiest ever banana cream pie recipe is so, so simple. Combine some instant pudding with whipped topping and you’re basically finished.
- 1 3.4 oz package instant banana cream pudding
- 1 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 8 oz container whipped topping like Cool Whip, divided
- 2 bananas sliced into 1/2" pieces
- 1 graham cracker crust
In a mixing bowl, add the instant pudding and milk and whisk together until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping (about 2/3 of the container) into the pudding until evenly combined.
Arrange the slices of one banana in an even layer around the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the pudding mixture over the top. Gently spread the remaining whipped topping around the top of the pie. Garnish with remaining banana slices.
Allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.
