Banana Dulce de Leche Pie

By srumbel

This Dulce De Leche Banana Cream Pie is probably one of our absolute most favorite pie recipes ever. EVER. It’s seriously incredible. The graham cracker crust is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to America but then pour in dulce de leche, fresh bananas, and the creamiest, dreamiest pudding mixture and you are seriously in for an amazing treat. It totally can hold it’s own next to a classic apple pie, or a double layer pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 graham cracker pie crust
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 1 can dulce de leche
• 1 cup milk
• 1 3.4 oz box french vanilla instant pudding
• 4 oz neufchatel cheese, softened
• 1/2 (of a 14 oz can) can of sweetned condensed milk
• 1/2 container (6 oz) cool whip, defrosted
• The only thing that is truly important to remember is to follow the pudding section instructions carefully. Don’t skip mixing the milk and pudding separate as it wont set up right otherwise.

Preparation

Step 1

in a large bowl, combine the pudding and milk and set aside.
in another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, and then add the sweetened condensed milk and beat again until smooth.
add the pudding into the cream cheese mixture and stir until evenly combined.
add 1/3 of the cool whip to the bowl, and gently fold it into everything. add the remaining cool whip and fold until completely combined. adding a little at a time is keeping it lighter vs just whipping it all together.
layer the sliced bananas on the bottom of the pie crust and pour the dulce de leche all over it. you most likely will only use 3/4 of the can. that's fine.
add the filling on top and chill for at least a few minutes before serving
