Simply Fabulous Banana Cream Pie



Yesterday was my husband's birthday, so I made his favorite dessert in the whole world -- banana cream pie. Banana cream pie is the perfect summer dessert, it's fast, easy, cool, light and refreshing and best of all, you don't have to turn on the oven to make it!


My version is made with skim milk and sugar free pudding, but it tastes so good, you would never know.


Simply Fabulous Banana Cream Pie

1 10 inch graham cracker pie shell
2 3/4 cups of skim milk
1 small pkg of sugar free vanilla pudding mix
1 small pkg of sugar free banana cream pudding mix
3 ripe medium sized bananas
whipped cream (optional)


Slice the bananas and layer in the bottom of the pie shell. Empty both pudding mixes into a medium sized bowl. Whisk in 2 and 3/4 cups of milk until thoroughly mixed. Pour into the pie shell completely covering the bananas. Smooth the pudding mixture with a rubber spatula. Place pie in the refrigerator to set up for at least 3 hours. Delicious topped with a couple of tablespoons of whipped cream.


Here's the nutritional breakdown if you use skim milk and sugar free pudding mixes for a 1/8th of a pie serving size.

If you add 2 Tbsp of whipped cream you add 20 more calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 1 carb. Totally worth it if you ask me.
