No-Bake Banana Cream Pie [0000879]

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (check for certified gluten-free)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup gluten-free vanilla pudding (homemade or store-bought)
Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the pie crust. Use the back of a spoon to help compact it.

Place the pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

In a blender or food processor, puree the 2 ripe bananas until smooth.

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and gluten-free vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the banana puree into the whipped cream until well combined.

Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and layer the sliced bananas on the bottom.

Pour the banana cream mixture over the sliced bananas, spreading it evenly.

Carefully spread the gluten-free vanilla pudding over the banana cream layer.

If desired, top the pie with additional whipped cream.

Chill the gluten-free No-Bake Banana Cream Pie in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to set.

Slice and serve chilled.
