Step 1

Bake pie crust according to direction if needed (no need to bake a store bought graham cracker crust). Whisk the instant pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. Whisk fast for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it has thickened. If you lift the whisk, the pudding shouldn't fall off.

Step 2

Fold in 1 cup of cool whip or whipped cream. Then slice 1 banana into thin slices and stir into the pudding. Evenly spread the filling into the pre-made pie crust.

Step 3

Chill at least 2 to 3 hours before serving. Slice 1 banana over the top of the chocolate pie.

Step 4

Then evenly spread the remaining whipped cream (about 1 cup) over top. Slice and serve chilled.
