Banana Cream Pie

Erik said that he wanted to make something new today instead of our usual cake or cookies, so we settled on pie. We searched the nets to find the perfect recipe that only needed 3 banana's since that's all we had. We stumbled upon a blog post that looked promising but as we looked at ingredients, we were shocked that it called for tofu, yes tofu! Needless to say we quickly moved on. Here is one that we found from the food network that had only a few ingredients and yes only needed 3 banana's!


Ingredients:

Crust:
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling:
- 1 (4 serving size) package vanilla pudding, prepared
- 3 medium bananas, sliced
- to serve: whip cream, or whipped topping

Directions

Crust: Mix all ingredients well & press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie plate. Chill 1 hour.

Filling: Prepare pudding mix. Place sliced bananas over the entire bottom of crust. Pour the pudding over the bananas. Refrigerate for 4 hours or more. When ready to serve, top with whipped topping. Serve chilled.


When we took the picture, the pie was still in the chill for 4 hours stage so we have not added the whipped topping yet. I sure it will be delicious!
