Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Shortbread Crust
- ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (32g) cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (474ml) milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (237ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- Optional: extra cookies from the crust crumbled, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the shortbread crust according to recipe directions and chill until the filling is ready.
- In a medium saucepan, combine ⅔ cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in milk. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until thickened and just boiling (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature and then chill for at least 4 hours.
- For the whipped cream, beat ¼ cup sugar with the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold ¾ cup of whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture.
- Slice the bananas, layering them in the bottom of the prepared crust, followed by half the pudding, another banana layer, and the remaining pudding. Top with the remaining whipped cream, a banana slice, and crumbled cookies.
- Chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving. Best enjoyed the same day; prep the pudding and crust the day prior but assemble the pie on the day of serving.
- Store in refrigerator.
Notes
For a quicker option, consider using a store-bought shortbread crust.
This pie is best served the same day for optimal freshness.
If preparing ahead, store the crust and pudding separately and assemble on serving day.
