How to Make Chocolate Banana Nut Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 2 cups ground walnuts, ½ cup ground graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter, and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar. Mix well.
  3. Press mixture evenly into a 9-10 inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Cool completely and set aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat together 2 cups powdered sugar, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 packet (1 ¼ teaspoon) unflavored gelatin in ¼ cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  7. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved.
  9. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until melted and glossy.
  10. Gradually whisk the hot chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  11. Add 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream and beat on medium speed until combined, then increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  12. Gently fold in 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts and 2 ripe bananas, sliced or coarsely chopped.
  13. Pour filling into the cooled pie crust. Mound slightly in the center.
  14. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  15. Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional) and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts.
