How to Make Low Fat Banana Cream Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9-inch pie tin with cooking spray.
In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs until finely ground.
Add ½ cup (113g) tub margarine and 1 tablespoon water. Process until crumbly and clumps form.
Press crumb mixture into the bottom and partially up the sides of the pie tin.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
In a small ramekin, sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin evenly over 3 tablespoons cold water. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1 ½ cups (355ml) milk (dairy or lactose-free).
Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon rum (optional).
Let cool for a few minutes.
Slice 3 medium bananas and arrange one-third on the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
Pour half of the pudding over the bananas.
Layer another third of the bananas, followed by the remaining pudding.
Top with the final third of the bananas.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the pudding has completely set.
