Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

In honor of Pi Day (3.14…nyuk nyuk!) I’m sharing one of my dirty little secrets with you. Here’s a pie that requires no cooking or baking whatsoever, but still tastes fabulous! If you burn the water trying to make tea, you can still make this pie. Hey, even I need a break from cooking now and then!

Pi Day 2008

Here’s what you need to make 2 pies:
2 chocolate cookie pie shells (I used Oreo™)
2 bananas, sliced
4 cups (32 ounces) light cream, well chilled
1 package banana cream instant JELL-O™ pudding mix
1 package chocolate instant JELL-O™ pudding mix
1 can whipped cream

Arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer in each pie shell. You may have extra slices depending on how thickly you cut them, so feel free to snack away as you finish this.

Whisk the banana pudding mix into 2 cups of the light cream for 2 minutes.  Immediately pour into the prepared shells, allowing about 1 cup each. Refrigerate and let set a few minutes while you finish snacking on those bananas.

Take the pies back out and whisk the chocolate pudding mix into the remaining light cream, again for 2 minutes. Pour about 1 cup into each of the pie shells. Cover the pies and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Top with whipped cream, either the whole pie or individual slices, immediately before serving. If you do it ahead of time, the whipped cream will liquefy.

Now sit back and enjoy the praises, and act like you spent all day in the kitchen making them!

    Exotic looking pie! I like the contrast of dark crust against bright filling.
