Easy Banana Cream Pie Recipe
Easy Banana Cream Pie Recipe
By Jennifer Garza, iSaveA2Z.com,
If you are looking for a simple, yet delicious dessert, this Easy Banana Cream Pie Recipe is for you! It contains shortbread cookies that act as the crust of the pie making it a no baking required dessert! I love it and I bet you will too.
Ingredients:
– 1 package or Lorna Doone Shortbread cookies or Pepperidge Farm Chessman Shortbread cookies
– 2 small packets of Jell-O Instant Banana Cream Pudding
– 4 Bananas
– 1 12 oz container of frozen whipped topping (thawed)
– cold milk (use the amount of milk as per instructions on your pudding packet)
I love preparing this dessert in this type of glass bowl because it almost always creates the “wow” factor when others see it! It’s perfect for bbq parties too!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Yield: 8 Servings
Instructions for Easy Banana Cream Pie:
Start by making the instant banana cream pudding according to the instructions on the package. Stir completely and wait for it to set. Once it has set I folded in about 1/2 of the whipped cream to the pudding mixture for a light and fluffy texture.
Next, add the first layer of shortbread cookies at the bottom of your bowl or pan (whichever you prefer). The next layer will be sliced bananas. Add a layer of the Banana Cream pudding mixture you prepared earlier. Now add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until you run out of room or ingredients. Top with the remaining a dollop of whipped cream and bananas on the top. Voila! That’s it!
My family loves it!
Someone asked if the cookies get soggy..yes, but believe it or not..that the Beauty of it because the cookies then taste like a crust.
This is an awesome no bake desert .
Love this recipe I tried it a few weeks ago, my family loved so much this is the only I will make. Thank you 🙏🏻
Do the bsnanas turn brown? Can you mske it a day ahead or will the cookies get soggy? Thanks. Making it for a party tomorrow
I’ve always made it the night before our parties and it never turned brown.
Dip in lemon juice the bananas will not turn
The idea of using Lorna Dunes is really appealing. The only thing I would disagree with in making this according to the recipe, is the use of Banana Cream pudding or anything with artificial banana flavor. My mom taught me long ago that using a plain vanilla pudding, whether from scratch, instant or cooked from a box, is far better than using a banana flavored pudding, which often has a definite fake and overwhelming banana flavor. The bananas do lend a beautiful light banana flavor to the vanilla pudding, and having tried both, my preference would be to chuck the artificial tasting product. Bottom line, I don’t think God ever meant for us to duplicate the flavor of a banana.
That looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing this at the Say G’Day Saturday linky party! I’ve pinned this to the Say G’Day Saturday Board.

This recipe looks divine! I featured it today at the Be Awesome party on Suburble! Thanks for linking up!
This looks great. But my favorite part is the bake time of zero minutes! So simple! Thank you for linking at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. Hope to see you again next week.
This looks simple and delicious! Found you from Kitchen dreaming link-up party 🙂
I love banana pie – but the presentation of this is simply gorgeous!
I’m guessing the ingredient list should say 4 cups of cold milk since you say
to use 2 cups with each package of pudding mix. Looks like a great recipe though.
Yes! I just updated the recipe. Use the amount of milk that is stated on your instant pudding package. Sorry about the confusion. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It’s one of our favorites!
This is Banana pudding dumb dumb Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
