How to Make Dreamy Banana Cream Pie
- In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese with 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 (3.4 ounce/96g) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups milk to the cream cheese mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until well blended and thick.
- Let the pudding mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow it to thicken further.
- Slice 2 ripe bananas and arrange them evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch prepared pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
- Carefully spread the pudding mixture evenly over the sliced bananas in the pie crust.
- Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pie filling is set.
- Before serving, slice the remaining banana. Garnish each slice of pie with the sliced banana and a dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
