White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 9-ounce package chocolate wafers (such as Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pkg. white chocolate pudding
  • 3 C. milk
  • 3-4 medium bananas
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar
  • For optional garnish: Dark chocolate and white chocolate curls

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a food processor, process the chocolate wafer cookies until they are fine crumbs. In a small bowl, place 1½ cups of the chocolate crumbs and hold the remaining crumbs aside in a separate bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine the 1½ cups of chocolate crumbs with the melted butter and stir to mix well. Press crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a solid crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the pudding.
