OVERCOMING MY FEAR OF MAKING PASTRIES: BANANA CREAM PIE

Hey everyone!
I'm slowly getting there....making new desserts any chance I get.
This one you will all love. Pretty simple and sweet.
Did you know you can make the crust of a pie with biscuits?? Well here's how......

Ingredients:- serves 6
1 pack Vanilla cream pudding powder
1 packet 500 ml milk
3-4 bananas
Whipping cream to whip/ already whipped cream in can
Digestive biscuits
125 gr unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
So start off by grinding your biscuits. I used a small grinder to do so but you can always put them in a closed bag and smash them manually with a rolling pin until fine.

Melt the butter in microwave and mixed with the biscuit crumbs. 

 

Put in a wide or round tin and smash well into the bottom of the tin.

Put in oven for about 5-7 minutes. Monitor it to make sure it doesn't burn. Remember that the biscuits are already cooked so the purpose of baking is for it to create a beautiful brown crust.

Once it is done, remove to cool.

In a bowl beat the 500ml milk and one packet vanilla pudding powder until nice and thick. 

Peel and cut up bananas. 

And whip the cream. In my case I used a can of already whipped cream.

Since the crust has already cooled, place the sliced bananas and form a layer. 

Follow by covering with vanilla pudding and whipped cream.

Put in the refrigerator/freezer for about ten minutes for it to set well. 

One thing I noted about this was that when I used the can of whipped cream and covered the pie, it came out abit runny. The taste was still good but it didn't form such a clean layer. So for the next time I shall either whip my own cream or just refrigerate without the cream which I can add/spray on top right before serving.

All in all it was a sweet mid-week treat! 

My peeps really enjoyed it as well and we ate quite a generous serving.

Try it :-))

Awaiting your FEEDback.
