Kristen Carli/Mashed To start making your easy banana cream pie, you'll need to gather the ingredients for it. Luckily, this recipe calls for very few ingredients — you'll need banana cream pudding mix,
Cool Whip, a graham cracker crust, whole milk, and bananas for garnish. Carli notes that you can use lite Cool Whip or sugar-free pudding to make an even "lighter" version of this dessert, and the texture and consistency of the pie will turn out the same.
Kristen Carli/Mashed Now that you've gathered your ingredients, you can get started on the easy banana cream pie recipe by getting the pudding mix going. In a medium bowl, add in your whole milk and the whole package of banana cream pudding mix. Using a whisk, stir these ingredients until they are fully combined. You'll want to make sure that there are no lumps from the pudding mix and you have a
smooth, creamy, pudding-like texture.
Kristen Carli/Mashed Once you have
your whole milk and banana cream pudding mix thoroughly whisked together, you can add in your Cool Whip. Start by adding the Cool Whip right on top of the pudding mixture, and then using a spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold the Cool Whip in. Be sure to fold the Cool Whip and not whisk it — we want to keep this mixture as light and fluffy as possible.
Kristen Carli/Mashed Now that you have your pudding and Cool Whip mixture fully combined, you can grab your graham cracker pie crust. Carefully pour the filling into the crust, and then use a spoon or rubber spatula
to ensure that the mixture is evenly distributed on the crust. From there, place your pie into the refrigerator for at least two hours to ensure that the pudding sets.
Kristen Carli/Mashed Once your pie is nearly done cooling in the fridge, you can get the bananas ready to go. Simply peel and slice the bananas into roughly
quarter-inch slices. Then, you can grab your pie from the fridge and begin adding the banana slices. Carefully place the slices along the top of the pie so the entire surface is covered, the goal here is full coverage of fresh banana.
Kristen Carli/Mashed Now that you've made your pie, allowed it to chill, and topped it with banana slices, you've made it to the best step: eating it! Cut your pie into eight equal slices, serve, and enjoy. You'll notice that the creaminess of the Cool Whip pairs perfectly with the banana cream pudding flavor, making for a simple but delicious bite. If you have
leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to three days. With such simple ingredients and minimal effort to prepare, this easy banana cream pie may quickly become your favorite treat in the summertime and throughout any season!
