Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 medium Bananas
• 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant banana pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or curls (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the texture of wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Peel and slice 2 bananas into thin rounds. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the cooled crust to create the first banana layer.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the prepared pudding over the banana layer in the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.

Step 8

Peel and slice the remaining 2 bananas into rounds. Arrange them over the top of the chilled pudding layer.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of bananas, or pipe decorative dollops using a piping bag for an elegant presentation.

Step 11

If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls for a touch of decadence.

Step 12

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for an additional 1 to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.

Step 13

Slice and serve the Double Delight Banana Cream Pie chilled. Enjoy!
