Banana Split Pie Recipe

This easy-to-make no-bake pie is one of my childhood favorites. My Mom would make this pie for special family occasions.

We arm-wrestled at Home Style HQ about what made this pie so darn good:

• The delightful crunch of Texas pecans

• The crispy graham cracker crust

• Sweet, chilled bananas

• Who doesn’t love cherries on top?

• Um, pineapple?

• This recipes makes 2 pies; 2 for you or 1 each for you and a friend, if you’re into sharing  🙂

This pie makes a sweet 10.0 dismount from any summer meal. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 Cups  |  Confectioners Sugar, Sifted 1 Cup  |  Unsalted Butter 2  |  Cage Free Eggs 1 Teaspoon  |  Vanilla 5-8  |  Bananas, Sliced Into Rounds 1 Pound 4 Ounce Can  |  Crushed Pineapple, Drained Well 12 Ounce Container  |  Whipped Topping (Cool Whip) 1 Cup  |  Chopped Nuts (go for pecans) 8 Ounces  |  Maraschino Cherries, Drained 2  | 9-inch Graham Cracker Crust Pie Shells (a chocolate crust is also good)

What To Do: 

1. Soften butter to room temperature. 2. Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and creamy.

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Add vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Divide the filling in half and spread it carefully into each pie crust.

5. Divide and arrange banana slices over mixture of each pie (one or two layers to your preference). Drain the pineapple, then “squish” it with your hands so the pie isn’t soupy. Top the pie with the drained pineapple.

6. Cover each pie with whipped topping, nuts, and cherries.

7. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Yield: 2 pies and 8-16 best friends.
