Author: 
Recipe type: Pie!!
 
Perfectly light for spring and summer. Make this as a pie or in cute little 4 oz Mason Jars!!
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups honey graham crackers, crushed (about a package and a half)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping
  • 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 2 small (3.4 ounce) packages banana cream instant pudding
  • 3¾ cups cold whole milk
  • bananas for garnish on top
Instructions
  1. Crush up your graham crackers in a food processor or plastic gallon zip lock bag. If using a zip lock bag use the flat side of a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin to get everything nice and crushed.
  2. Melt your butter in a medium bowl and then add in your graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar.
  3. Mix it all together.
  4. Press the crumbs down evenly and up the sides in a 9 inch pie pan. Just save a few tablespoons out to use as a garnish later.
  5. Set your pie pan in the freezer to harden while your next layer is being mixed.
  6. For the next layer add your powdered sugar, 1 cup of the whipped topping, and cream cheese to the bowl of your mixer. Whip it all together until smooth with the whisk attachment.
  7. Take your crust out of the freezer and spread on the whipped topping mixture evenly on the crust. Set the pan in the refrigerator.
  8. For the next layer pour your pudding mix into the bowl of your mixer and then add in your milk. Beat with the whisk attachment until thoroughly mixed and starts to slightly thicken.
  9. Take your pie plate out of the refrigerator and spread on your pudding mixture.
  10. Put your pie pan back in the refrigerator to allow the pudding to set, about an hour.
  11. Then top with the rest of your whipped topping, graham cracker crumbs, and bananas.
  12. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve!
  13. To make these in 4oz Mason Jars prepare and layer everything just the same as the pie except assemble it in the individual jars. If topping with fresh bananas don't add those until right before so they don't turn all brown.
