Make this easy no-bake banana cream pie using a simple graham cracker crust and a creamy custard filling. This classic dessert is quick to assemble and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Assemble the pie: Arrange half of the sliced bananas over the bottom of the chilled crust. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas. Top with half of the thawed whipped topping. Repeat the layers with the remaining bananas, pudding, and whipped topping.
  4. Chill: Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  5. Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with extra banana slices if desired. Slice and serve this refreshing chilled pie.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor in your creamy banana custard filling.
  • For an old fashioned banana cream pie flavor, you can substitute Nilla wafers for the graham crackers in the crust.
  • If you need a quick banana dessert, this recipe sets faster than baked versions.
