Description
This no-bake banana pudding pie is creamy, nostalgic, and irresistibly easy. With layers of fluffy vanilla pudding, ripe bananas, and a buttery graham cracker crust, it’s the ultimate comfort dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
- 15 to 20 vanilla wafers, crushed (for topping or layering)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust base. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a cold bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and thick.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
- Layer sliced bananas over the crust. Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas and smooth the top. Garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and extra banana slices if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Slice with a clean knife and serve chilled. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy texture.
- Chill the pie for the full 4 hours for best results.
- You can prepare the pie a day in advance for easy serving.
- Add caramel drizzle or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
