Make this creamy, easy no-bake banana cream pie using a simple vanilla custard filling and a crisp crust. This recipe delivers classic flavor without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 4 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the instant vanilla pudding according to package directions, using 1 1/2 cups of cold milk. Whisk constantly for two minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Let the pudding mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to set slightly.
  3. Arrange half of the sliced bananas in a single layer on the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
  4. Pour half of the slightly thickened pudding mixture evenly over the bananas in the crust.
  5. Layer the remaining banana slices over the pudding layer.
  6. Gently spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of bananas.
  7. Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top layer of pudding. You can create decorative swirls with a spoon.
  8. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely firm.
  9. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer custard flavor, substitute the instant pudding mix with a homemade vanilla custard base, cooked and cooled completely before assembly.
  • Use slightly firm bananas; overly ripe bananas can become mushy too quickly in the filling.
  • You can make this pie ahead of time, but for the best texture, add the whipped topping no more than 8 hours before serving.
