This old-fashioned banana cream pie recipe is full of flavor. Because it uses instant pudding, this no-bake dessert is ready in just minutes. —Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington

Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie

2% milk

vanilla pudding mix

vanilla extract

carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

graham cracker crust (9 inches)

firm bananas, sliced

banana slices, optional

I am really surprised to find that many of you don't realize that one cup can be by weight (8 oz) or by volume ( one full measuring cup). Not everything that is measured is by weight alone. That is how you can have 3 cups of whipped topping in a 12 oz. container. Spoon it into a one cup measuring cup, level off the top, then scoop it into your recipe. Repeat 2 more times. That equals the 3 cups needed for your recipe! And use a "dry" measuring cup (no pour spout) because there is a big difference between a dry measuring cup & one for liquids.

nothing like real old fashioned banana cream pie... real is always better...

This is so easy to prepare and it is one of my husband\'s favorite pies.

I’m always looking for easy no bake desserts that I can make in our motorhome. This was so easy and a favorite of our grandkids. We will be making this often.

Whipped topping? Old fashioned? That is junk food, garbage. No thanks. That's it for this subscription.

This is very good and easy to make, but I also use banana pudding in place of the vanilla. Gives it a more banana flavor. And I use the extra creamy whipped topping.

It appears RamblinRon is confusing volume and weight. I think there are approximately 3.5 cups in a 12 oz. container of CoolWhip. Check the container, it should say how many cups are in it. Looking forward to making this this weekend.

I would try a Nabisco Nilla Vanilla Wafer Crust instead of a graham cracker crust! I think it would be a great flavor combination with the bananas without any more fuss...if you're in a hurry you can purchase either one already made for you! And yes, please keep sharing your recipes, Perlene! ;)

This is nothing new, I've been doing "cream" pies this way for over 30 years, mainly because I don't care for the taste of cooked custard. By the way, this is not "old-fashioned, unless of course, you've been using my method, and it certainly isn't anything like this recipe!!!!! I don't think this deserves a rating, but I can't post if I don't, so here's your zero star, in the form of 1 star!

I have cooked both homemade custards and instant and I find the instant - admittedly, with flavoring added, but you add flavoring to the hand-stirred, cooked glob, too - to have a better flavor.

I think the title of this recipe is misleading. Old fashioned to me means "nilla" wafers, cooked custard and real whipped cream. Not a graham cracker in site! However, I can see that after making this, it has a good flavor (depends on the brand of pudding mix).

I made this last summer and everyone enjoyed it. I will be making it again for dessert on Sunday. Super easy and quick to make.

I made this today and it turned out great! Super easy to make and everyone loved it. I will definitely make this again.

made this and it was not an easy job due a mistake i made in the calculation of Cups to grams ( because i'm Dutch and not use to work with cups (-: ) but after the correction it was tasty and good looking too. Thanks for this recipe

Considering HOME MADE pies are made with 5-8 yolks, this is the best alternative. Some people are critical this isn't "home made!" I'll consider a healthier pie vs. heart attack at dessert time.

easy and very good. This is a very good recipe for those on the go. As one suggested, use sugar free instant banana pudding (instead of the vanilla) for a boost of flavor.

That's good BUT if you use the sugar-free banana cream flavored pudding instead of vanilla it tastes TERRIFIC!!! lol!

&nbsp;Please, keep sharing your recipes, Perlene! : ) God bless you!!

quick and easy to make with few ingredients. made this at camp, best one in 4 weeks of dessert

Made this today, VERY good and easy to make my family loved it. I loved it because I didn't have to spend a lot of time in a hot kitchen making it the "traditional" way. That may be the only way to make banana cream pie for some in the middle of August, but not for me, I'm not that much of a purist. Some people just REALLY need to get over themselves as I don't need anyone policing recipe titles and/or ingredients for me. I can read a recipe ALL THE WAY THROUGH (which obviously some cannot - hence the recipe police with the self-righteous attitudes) and decide for myself if I want to attempt it. Perlene please don't let the self-absorbed negative reviewers keep you from submitting further recipes - I for one (and as evidenced by other reviewers) am thankful for your submission(s). Nice job - thank you!

Sounds great and a much faster way than I usually make. Thanks

Old fashioned should not include instant anything. Making 'from-scratch' cream isn't that difficult and makes an amazing pie. Instant pie/pudding mixes are gastly.

sounds like a very easy & tasty pie. Can you please help me with the cool whip - not sure how much to mix into the pudding, Little confused with the measurements as the cool whip is to be divided, therefore this implies that only part of the cool whip is to be mixed into the van. pudding mixture, and some left for the topping. Also 3 cups is not 12 oz.Thanks, rating, haven't tried it therefore cannot rate it.Ann
