Sarah's Amazingly Awesome Banana Cream Pie:
Difficulty: Easy
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 graham crackers
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons butter
- Three ripe bananas
- One package of instant banana pudding (including the ingredients required to make it)
- One package of Cool Whip
- One pinch of sugar
Execution:
- Place the graham crackers and sugar in a sealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to grind the graham crackers down to the consistency of a granule of sugar. It is permissible to leave some small chunks of a graham cracker in the mix to add variation.
- Empty the sugar and graham cracker crumbs into a small mixing bowl. Next, melt the butter using the microwave or a small saucepan. Make certain that the butter is not scalded during this process; scalded butter has an unappetizing taste.
- Stir the graham cracker and sugar mix while slowly adding the freshly melted butter to the mixing bowl. Make certain that the mixture is moist but not completely wet; the mixture should loosely bind together.
- Empty the mixture into a ten inch pie dish and use your fingers to spread the mixture around the entire surface. Make it a point to press the mixture down into the pie dish so there are no air bubbles and the entire bottom of the pie dish is covered. Spread the additional pinch of sugar over the pie crust.
- Refrigerate the pie dish for fifteen to twenty minutes.
- During the last few minutes that the crust is in the refrigerator, peel the bananas and discard of the pointed tips of each.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bananas into small slices, no larger than 1/4 of an inch thick. When the bananas are all sliced, remove the pie dish from the refrigerator.
- Working from the perimeter to the center, place the sliced bananas on top of the pie crust. When this task is completed, the crust should be almost completely covered by the banana slices.
- Place the pie dish into the refrigerator before mixing the ingredients of the instant pudding. Make sure that all of the pudding mix is completely dissolved and blended before pouring it directly into the pie dish over the crust and sliced bananas. Tap the sides of the pie dish to ensure saturation and level distribution.
- Refrigerate approximately fifteen minutes or until the pudding has completely settled into the pie dish.
- After refrigeration, use a spatula to cover the exposed surface of the pudding with a layer of cool whip. This layer should be no more than half an inch thick.
- Refrigerate an additional five minutes before serving.
