Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling

  • 3.4 ounce box Instant Banana Cream Pudding Mix
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces sour cream OR plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 bananas sliced

Topping

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • 3 ounces plain cream cheese

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix together with a fork until thoroughly combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix, milk, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in 2 sliced bananas. Spoon the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the Cool Whip and mix together until creamy. Spoon the topping evenly over the pie filling.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 3 hours. Remove from refrigerator and top with additional sliced bananas.
