  • 1 ounce Package Jell-O Brand Chocolate Pudding 1.4-, Sugar-Free or Regular
  • 1 3/4 cup milk
  • FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • TO MAKE THE CRUST
  • Crush graham crackers in a food processor or Ziplock bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter. Press into a pie pan and bake for 5 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • TO MAKE THE GANACHE
  • Pour the cream into a small saucepan and place it over a medium-low heat for a few minutes. Keep an eye on the cream, you don't want it to boil or simmer. It only needs to get hot. Remove the pan from the stove and add the chopped chocolate to the pan. Stir gently to distribute the chocolate through the cream and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to continue to soften and melt.
  • FOR THE CARAMELIZED BANANAS
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the brown sugar and the bananas. Cook until golden and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • FOR THE PUDDING
  • Pour the pudding mix in a large bowl. Add the milk and whip for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  • TO ASSEMBLE THE PIE
  • Pour the chocolate ganache into the pie shell.
  • Top with the caramelized bananas.
  • Add the pudding.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • TO MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM
  • Pour the whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar.
  • Whisk just until the cream reaches stiff peaks.
  • Add to the top of pie.
