Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 25 pieces Golden Oreos
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
For the Filling:
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 3 pieces sliced ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 box banana pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
  • 2 cups milk
  • Fresh bananas for garnish (if desired)

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Golden Oreo Crust. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In your food processor, crush 25 Golden Oreos until they resemble fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl, and pour in 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until combined and the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
  2. Step 2: Make the Banana Filling. In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 box of banana pudding mix with about 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk until smooth and set aside to thicken. In another bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and stir until combined. Gently add the 3 sliced ripe bananas to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream. In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk or electric mixer to beat 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This will give your pie a light and fluffy topping.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Pie. Once the Oreo crust has cooled, layer the sliced bananas at the bottom. Pour the prepared banana pudding over the bananas, spreading it evenly. Next, add the whipped cream on top, spreading it gently to cover the pudding. For an extra touch, you can slice fresh bananas and arrange them on top of the whipped cream.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Serve. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. When ready to serve, slice and enjoy the creamy, dreamy goodness of your Banana Cream Pie with Golden Oreo Crust!

Notes

  • For a firmer pie, chill it longer before serving.
  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Try adding a layer of chocolate pudding for a twist!
