Banana Cream Cheese Pie
This banana cream pie comes with my own special "twist"! It's simply cream cheese! Only a few ingredients are needed making it super simple to make but delicious to the taste!
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Lightly Sweetened Whipped Cream reserve 3/4 cup as a topping for the filling
- 3 smashed Ripe Bananas Dried banana chips can be used as a topping if desired
- 1 Shortbread Pie Crust or a Vanilla Wafer if preferred
Instructions
-
For the filling: In a mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar.
-
Add in the milk and vanilla extract.
-
Gently fold in the smashed bananas and the 1/4 cup of the whipped cream (either ready-made or home-made).
-
Pour the fillng into a ready made pie crust of your choice. In this recipe I used a shortbread crust but vanilla wafer would be equally as delicious.
-
Top the filling with the remaining whipped cream.
-
Refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
***For home-made whipped cream, simply beat 1 cup of chilled heavy cream for several minutes on medium high. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla , and 2 cups of powdered sugar, depending on how sweet you desire. Continue mixing until it stiffens and thickens.***
