Strawberry Banana Pie Recipe

Strawberry Banana Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (9''/standard) Shortbread pie crust
• 1 (3.4 oz.) package of instant vanilla pudding
• 2 cups cold milk
• 2 bananas
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
• Whipped cream

Directions:

Prepare the pudding filling by pouring 2 cups cold milk into bowl. Add pudding mix and whisk (by hand or with electric mixer on low speed) until blended and pudding is thick. 

Now, slice up your bananas (approx 1/8 in thick) and place in small bowl. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice to bananas to avoid browning. Line the bottom of your pie crust with banana slices. Overlapping is ok.

Pour pudding mixture over banana layer spreading evenly.

Top pudding layer with strawberry filling. Let the pie sit in the refrigerator for 3 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled and top with whipped cream! 

While I usually prefer cream pie to fruit pie, I decided to try out a fruity and creamy pie - hence the Strawberry Banana Cream Pie (similar to Polly's Banberry Pie but better because it's made with lots of love.) The recipe was super simple to make and was pretty much devoured within minutes!
