Easy Banana Cream Pie Dip makes a simple, delicious snack that’s perfect for kids. Serve it with graham crackers or vanilla wafers for a fun flavor combination that everyone will LOVE!
So. Have I mentioned that Greta is in a play this summer? Well….she is! She’s playing a servant and a villager in Beauty and the Beast, and so far, she’s loving it. Needless to say, we are hearing lots of “Be Our Guest”, “Bonjour”, and “Tale As Old As Time”….and as much a I’m finding it adorable for now, I can see how it might eventually lose its luster. I’ll keep you posted.
But for now, I am absolutely loving the fact that Greta has found something she loves. She’s always been more on the artistic side, and soccer just wasn’t doing it for her. It’s so fun to see her trying something new, especially when it’s something I could really see her being good at! The only downside! ALL the practice. And by ALL the practice, I mean the two 2 hour practices a week. Ha! But when you have 3 other kids with you, any amount of time can feel like an eternity! Especially when it happens twice a week! You feel me?
There’s only so much you can do to keep a 9 year old, a 4 year old, and a 14 month old quiet and occupied for 2 hours. Which is precisely where these Horizon Snacks come in. We recently discovered them, and let’s just say they are a LIFESAVER! We’ve been taking a box of them with us with us to every.single.play practice. The kids love all the different varieties (and believe me, there are lots to choose from) and I love the fact that they’re a snack I feel great about giving them. That, and the fact that they keep us sane during those long 2-hour practices….!
So, as a special little treat for all of us….for making it through play practice (and summer school, and dance class, and piano lesson) alive….I decided to whip up a fun dip. Something that I knew would be absolutely delicious with our favorite new grahams. Banana Cream Pie Dip!!! Honestly? It tastes just like banana cream pie, and it takes just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make. Best of all, it’s AMAZING with Horizon Honey Snack Grahams. Or Cinnamon Snack Grahams. Or Original Snack Crackers. Basically, it’s a match made in heaven. Kinda like Greta and her play…..at least for now.

Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet says
On a whim I decided to buy a box of these as well! The girls loved them! I am loving this dip that you made to go along with them!
Melissa says
Can I use something to replace the Greek yougrat? Really hate that stuff,
Sandra says
This sounds so good that I have to try it soon! Curious though, is 1/2 C. banana pudding mix the amount in a small box of instant pudding? Thanks!
Geri says
I am wondering how much budding mix to use too. I used (2) 1.8 oz instant banana cream pie pudding mixes and my dip came out really thick. It was almost to thick to even spread.
greta says
Mine came out super thick as well. Almost like frosting. Not sure how it’ll go over at the party. Would adding milk help?
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi Greta, I’m SO sorry about this! You’re absolutely right – the measurements were off. I’ve updated the recipe to reflect the correct amounts. My apologies! ~Cathy
Pammi Cook says
Could you use the Whipped Cream Cheese?
Chris says
Measure a 1/4 cup as stated in the recipe.
Rachael says
I love banana everything! I think I would eat this like crazy!
April says
Greta,
If I make it as instructed, would it be spreadable and delicious over a strawberry cake?
simcity buildit game says
As well as this Competition of Mayors element, the gameis newest update incorporates 60 new’ buildings to discover,
as well as two Maxis Gentleman superhero -crafted things people may create inside their town.
Lisa says
This sounds really good. I think it would be even easier if you
double the recipe. An 8 oz block of cream cheese and a whole
box of pudding and your on your way! Plus you have more!!!!
Thanks for sharing. I am on a low carb diet and I can have this
if I make it with the sugar free pudding mix.
Cathy Trochelman says
I hope you enjoy it, Lisa!
Ondra Corley says
Why couldn’t you replace the banana pudding with strawberry and the slice bananas with sliced strawberries. How awesome would that be??
Pearl Garcia says
