Super Easy and Delicious Banana Dream Pie

I am usually a big fan of making everything from scratch, but this banana cream pie always gets rave reviews and it is seriously one of the easiest thing to make. To make it even easier, use prepared whipped topping to finish.

Ingredients:

  • Nilla Wafer Crust (either homemade or store bought)
  • 3 envelopes DREAM WHIP whipped topping mixes
  • 3-1/4 cups cold milk, divided
  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla, divided
  • 2 pkgs (4-servings each) JELL-O instant pudding, banana flavored
  • 1-2 very ripe bananas
Directions:

  1. Beat 2 whipped topping mixes, 1 cup of milk and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed 6 minutes or until topping thickens and forms peaks.
  2. Add 1-3/4 cups mik and pudding mixes; beat on low speed. Beat on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. 
  3. Slice ripe banana and arrange the slices to cover the bottom of the nilla wafer crust. Spoon pie filling into crust.
  4. Mix remaining whipped topping mix, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended.
  5. Beat on high speed for 4 minutes or until topping thickens and forms peaks.
  6. Top pie with the prepared dream whip.
  7. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
