Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 bananas, sliced
- Whipped cream and additional Oreos for garnish (optional)
Before you begin, take the butter and heavy cream out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for a little while. This will make them easier to work with.
Oreo Crust
First, prepare the Oreo crust. Take a food processor or blender and pulse the Oreos until they are finely crushed. Alternatively, you can put the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Banana Cream Filling
For the banana cream filling, start by making the vanilla pudding. In a large bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold whole milk for about 2 minutes or until it thickens. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the vanilla pudding mixture until fully combined.
Pie Assembly
Now it's time to assemble the pie. Take the Oreo crust out of the fridge and layer sliced bananas over the bottom of the crust. Pour the banana cream filling over the bananas and smooth out the top with a spatula. Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours or until set. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and additional Oreos if desired.
