Ingredients
Instructions
- Use a blender or wire whisk to mix the pudding according to the box directions.
- Slice bananas and place them in the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
- Fold half of the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas in the crust.
- Refrigerate until set and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, use ripe bananas that are not overripe. You can substitute the sugar-free vanilla pudding with a sugar-free banana pudding for a more intense banana flavor. If you prefer a lighter version, consider using light Cool Whip. To enhance the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best experience. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light fruit salad like Apple And Walnut Salad. For an extra touch, drizzle a sugar-free chocolate sauce over the top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie can lose its texture over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh. Avoid freezing the pie, as the bananas can turn brown and mushy when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular pudding instead of sugar-free?
Yes, you can use regular pudding if you are not concerned about sugar content. However, the overall sweetness of the pie will increase, so you may want to adjust the amount of Cool Whip used accordingly.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this pie dairy-free, substitute the Cool Whip with a dairy-free whipped topping and ensure the pudding mix is dairy-free as well. You can find several vegan recipes for pudding that would work perfectly in this dish.
Can I make this pie in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator, covered, to keep it fresh. However, it's recommended to add the bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
